Hiking

@Dirk What you're saying is absolutely nonsense. Any marked trail in the core zone is permitted. This includes climbing approaches. These aren't recommended for everyone, as surefootedness is often required...you can always take the easier paths, although I do wonder if you've ever been up here. The climb is well-maintained and requires no special skills other than good fitness. One thing is certain: it's permitted!!!

Hiking

From the summit of Honigsteinkopf, a picturesque path, lined with lush green flora, leads you down into the depths. As you move along these wonderful paths, you feel the liveliness of the place, a pulsation that comes from the many nature lovers who, just like you, explore this place. The busy paths testify to the popularity of this descent, but with every step you take as you delve deeper into nature, you will also find those quiet moments of contemplation. A perfect place to experience the magic of the Honeystone Head in all its facets.
