Very beautiful hiking trail, but also very difficult to hike. Nature lovers will get their money's worth. Good physical condition and sure footing are essential.

Hiking

Very steep, stony and unfortunately dead spruce trees everywhere ... stay away from the hiking trails so that the forest naturally regresses again, which is already successful and visible in many places.

Hiking

The ascent is truly difficult. Be sure to bring sturdy shoes! City clothes and normal street shoes are not recommended. In some cases obstacles> 70 cm as well as mud holes have to be overcome. You will be rewarded with an extremely natural hiking route.
