If you have the time and, above all, the courage, you should not miss the ascent through the ladder ladder. A long and narrow staircase leads up through a narrowing gorge. At the top, you will be rewarded with a phenomenal view. Take care of the gap between the stairs and the rock face, then you are on the safe side.

Those who are not claustrophobic and fascinated by the cliffs of the rocks of Saxon Switzerland will get their money's worth here. An iron staircase leads up through a very narrow gap to a viewpoint.
