    The ascent is very steep and requires sure-footedness and a head for heights. It is well secured with wire ropes. There are regular traffic jams on the weekends. In my opinion, climbing gear is not necessary, gloves are an advantage. A real highlight 👌

    Here it goes steeply uphill or downhill. However, climbing equipment is not required. The path is secured throughout with steel ropes to hold on to. Nevertheless, surefootedness and a head for heights are absolutely necessary!
