    Hiking

    Due to the loose scree it is very difficult to get ahead. In addition there are the partly very steep sections, which cost a lot of power.
    In fog (as with us), the orientation is very difficult! GPS device necessary!

    Hiking

    The beginning of the hike on the Hekla is very steep in itself, and the problem is not the incline, but the loose ground. Concentration is required here.
