Not for "normal mountain tourists"!
You must be free from giddiness, surefootedness and grip strength!
Anyone who already feels unsafe when entering the small via ferrata (from Edelhütte) should go back!
Tripping or sudden weather changes could be fatal!

Hiking

An incredibly beautiful way. But really not without it! You have to be really trained here and be brave. If you walk up from the Edelhütte, you first come to a steep mountain path that is secured with steel cables. Not necessarily easy to go. Experience and caution are required here. Anyone coming from the Ahornspitze has to climb over large, rough rocks. Here is not secured. You have to trust your surefootedness or slip over the ridge over your very best. Really only experienced hikers should go here.

Hiking

I wish I had seen the comments on here before. Björn and Janek are absolutely right, this is a tough spot for the "normal" hiker. It goes down steeply while climbing around an almost vertical rock. I only did it because I couldn't turn back and wouldn't do it again.
