In summer 2023, a new wooden walkway with stairs and a suspension bridge was built to make this beautiful valley and great views accessible even for hikers who are not sure-footed.
In summer, only recommended in the morning or evening hours - down in the valley it can be calm and very hot. Please always take something to drink with you. In the northern section there are approx. 213 (possibly +13) steps, in the southern section approx. 352 steps - a total of just over 1100 there and back. Access in the north behind the cemetery (tarmac road), in the south at the starting point of this tour recording (gravel road, only a few parking spaces).

Had a beautiful walk today, but had to walk through water twice. There is no bridge or stepping stone, but there was a tree in both places for the acrobats among us who can walk over it.
