    Hiking

    The Cottbuser Höhenweg is really beautiful and has a few challenging parts to offer.

    Hiking

    We hiked from Riffelsee to the Kaunergrat Hut along the Cottbus High Trail. However, this trail is currently partially closed, and a new, small detour/alternative route has been created due to a landslide. Please be sure to keep this in mind when planning your hike and the duration of your hike.

    Hiking

    Up until the trail is closed from Riffelsee, no via ferrata set is necessary. However, be aware that the trail can be a bit wet due to a small stream. Otherwise, there are good iron footholds and steel cables. You'll find yourself in a small, narrow gully, and with surefootedness, you can walk it without a set. The section isn't particularly long either!
