    Squeeze through to get to the start of the second, upper part of the Häntzschelstieg. The backpack may need to be removed.

      From the outside, the crack in the rock does not appear to be continuous. Only after you are 1-2 m inside the crack does it widen and you can see the climbing aids. It is best to follow the mass of tracks.

        Can also be done without a via ferrata set - gloves are recommended, though.

        A little more difficult in winter when there is snow.
