    Hiking

    The Westelschlüchte gorges are still not accessible and therefore the ascent to the Bärfangwände is not possible. Only the first 500m are well cleared. Fallen trees block the way, and attempts to bypass the gorges also end up in the tree mikado. It's a shame, although in September 2023 it was said that the Westelschlüchte gorges would be accessible again.
    If anyone does find a usable path through the Westelschlüchte, please let me know, thank you

    Hiking

    The upper part of the Westelschlüchte is a relatively steep slope, which requires some climbing skill despite the steps and stairs.
    Definitely suitable for beginners and children.
