For me, it's one of the most beautiful trails in the northern Black Forest. A bit of climbing, which is really a lot of fun, and great views. But be careful: you have to be free from vertigo. I've encountered more than one desperate hiker there who couldn't go any further. It's an unsecured via ferrata!

There are often times this weekend on the weekend ... If you prefer it quieter should be best to come during the week!

You should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights.
Good footwear is a requirement.
The ridge is marked as a via ferrata, but it is not secured. There is a footpath to the side to get around the ridge.
I think it's worth a detour for our region. It is definitely worth it . It's best to go early in the morning or during the week.
