Mountaineering

It takes some imagination to imagine how alpine farming was possible here on the wildly rugged Gottesacker plateau. But it did exist.

Mountaineering

The alp was abandoned in the 19th century, presumably because the landscape became too rough for grazing and the climate deteriorated.

Hiking

Only in good weather !! And enough food in the backpack, because - as already written above - there are no rest stops!
