    Hiking

    Danger! The description on Komoot that no special skills are required is unfortunately absolutely misleading. The ascent in particular involves very steep climbing passages and the descent cannot be managed without being absolutely sure-footed and not afraid of heights. You also walk all the time in the blazing sun without any shade. In our opinion, only suitable for very experienced hikers!!!

    Hiking

    Very steep, mostly unsecured path. Absolute freedom from giddiness and surefootedness required. No walk!!! I wouldn't recommend this trail on the descent, only on the ascent

    It's best to take a knife with you if you want to snack on prickly pears on the go
