Hiking

A small climb next to the entrance to the rock stage takes you to the Raaber Kessel. There is a small gorge there that is now only passable from one entrance. The other is blocked by a rock. Great place to discover and explore.

Wehlnadel, turn left onto the trail before the pavilion view.

Hiking

The keen hiker has no business there. This area is in the core zone of the national park. The paths marked with a black arrow on a white background are also not part of the marked network of paths that is exclusively for use here. The rangers are no longer joking. And that's a good thing given the sensitive landscape.
