Be careful, the path will be difficult to see due to the forest fire in 2022 at the latest. It often goes along the cliff. In two places the bare rock slopes down to the cliff and there is no support to secure it. You should bring good shoes and sure-footedness.

The hiking trail is now freely passable again. However, by nature, you need sturdy shoes and surefootedness. From the sparsely wooded slope, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Idagrotte.
