Wonderful forest path which winds along the rock face and is a nice alternative to the slightly better developed Roßsteig. It requires some sure-footedness, but no alpine experience is required.

Hiking

The trail is marked as a mountain path (with a green arrow on a grey background). It is narrow, natural, and offers a true wilderness experience far from the main tourist routes.
