The steepest part of the round. It is definitely recommended to follow the given direction. Here are some passages that require a little bit of scrambling. Uphill no problem - downhill tough.

If you start from the hiking car park, the route starts to the right of the bridge. We followed the round as Komot indicates it. The local hikers all went the other way around. This point here is the hardest in the whole round. There are a few spots where you have to push yourself up against the wall. But it's doable if you're not afraid of heights. The descent at the other end is then more like an endless staircase.

Thanks for the hint/tip! Helped a lot to climb the steep passage up. With a backpack down it would not have been so pleasant!
