That's why this is the highlight. After a leisurely climb up here from 700m to 900m, it's now a steep climb up to 1,155m. So rest here again and stock up on supplies. Pilgrims used to be very afraid of this section up in the forest, which then goes on for hours. Of highwaymen and wild animals. You can only get through in groups. Even today there are no buildings up to the stage finish. If you're lucky, you'll find two mobile refreshment stations in the middle of the route in the forest.
