    Very short section of the route with wire rope, which you can bypass below in good weather! Not spectacular, but overall very varied and beautiful!

      The best way to get to Rachel.
      An alpine path like this one is only supposed to be in the Alps (comparable e.g. Rinnkendlsteig in Berchtesgarden).
      I can only recommend the path uphill and only in reasonably dry conditions, as otherwise it can be very muddy.
      There is a short section with rope insurance, but it is not exposed and technically not particularly difficult.
      Particularly noteworthy is the fantastic view of the northern slope of the Rachel, which towers over the valley by around 500 meters and looks completely wild (no paths, buildings recognizable).

        The Goldsteig Nordroute 16: Großer Falkenstein - Rachel leads along here. Probably the most beautiful but also the most strenuous path section up to the Rachel (Waldschmidthaus).
