After the suspension bridge, the path goes steeply up through the wall, almost a kind of via ferrata, some of which have chains to hold on to. Surefootedness, strength and fitness are required. Going down is much more difficult than going up. Avoid on weekends because of crowds, even in January. Very nice when there is no crowd there.

For this section, you'll definitely need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights. Some sections are very narrow, and the drop is quite steep. ;) If that's okay with you, the trail is really cool and a lot of fun!
