The old climb existed before the Gohrisch was opened up for tourism in the 19th century. There are mainly some stairs to climb through the rock formations. (The path through the branching Falkenschlucht with its narrow passages and a tunnel section is even more spectacular).

We used the “west ascent” as a descent. It's just a short ladder passage.
