The descent from the Spitzli leads through a rooty and steep part of the forest, as well as through a rock opening (this place is secured and therefore a bit narrow, sure-footedness is an advantage.
Everyone who has the same joy in steep and rooty forest paths, will enjoy it very much :-)).

The descent through the forest is very steep and difficult to step on, and in places almost impossible to hold on to. It should not be underestimated, especially with leaves and moisture. Poles are a good recommendation for securing points. There is a short section with a "tunnel" and rope protection.
