Nobody should get bored on the route, as there is something to scramble for, the pram is definitely out of place and the ascent can be rewarded with coffee and cake in the pottery shack. When the view is distant, there is really something to see in the Bohemian view, e.g. the Jeschken. But you can also see far from the pottery shack, at least as far as Zittau. When there is no clear view at all, the bizarre rock shapes such as the brooding hen can still be seen.

Hiking

Do it first, even in the low mountain ranges it can be exhausting.
