The somewhat arduous ascent over a stony forest path is definitely worth it because of the view and the rare plants that can be admired here. The tour is classified as easy, but should only be attempted with hiking boots and poles because of the stones and the gradient. At the top you should be free from giddiness - then the tour is an absolute highlight!
