The Griesgrund is a "mountain path" in the national park, marked with a green arrow - may therefore be officially committed. Walkable in both directions. Very beautiful and wild ... beautiful Kraxelei.

That's right, the Griesgrund valley lies within the core zone, and only marked trails may be used there.

The path through the Griesgrund valley is marked as a mountain trail (green triangle) and is therefore officially open to the public.

Here is the beautiful Griesgrund. The green triangle marking ("mountain path") indicates that it's a bit more challenging, but it's also far more interesting, exciting, and wild. And—most importantly—despite being a core zone, it's legally accessible thanks to the aforementioned marking—contrary to some troll opinions here.

Don't let the self-proclaimed conservationists intimidate you! Just behave appropriately, stay on the paths, and take your trash with you, and these people will have no reason to close off or take away any more of these beautiful trails.
