Can also be done well as a circular route. Depending on your mood, first take the easy path and the eye of the needle as a descent or the other way around.

After the steps there is a narrow passage, if you are claustrophobic, this is the wrong place.

After the first part of the ascent, the path divides at the plaque, in the "comfortable way" and the short climb. This is in my opinion the more interesting way

It is short, if you have your dog with you this path is not quite as suitable

In order to get from the Pfaffenstein plateau south to the Barbarine, you have to climb through a very narrow crevice on narrow steel steps and "squeeze" through the crevice that tapers conically above you. So far no one has gotten stuck.

This ladder in the gap gives you a very short but still exciting climb towards Barbarine. Shortly after the climb you get a great view again.

From the Berggasthof Pfaffenstein you should definitely take the detour with a view of the Barbarine. You have to go through a narrow crevice in the rock and then you reach a plateau from which you have a wonderful view into the distance and of the mighty Barbarine.

Interesting are the narrow gaps between the rocks with the steep stairs

Steep, narrow, but brilliant, but the climb is worth it

Because the view of the Barbarine is beautiful, but also the view from there in general.
