Plenty of safeguards, but not absolutely necessary. Areas with high ladders can be bypassed.
Suitable for normal hikers and children. Sturdy shoes are recommended. From Oberwesel after the climb there is a viewing and picnic area.

The trail is well secured, including iron treads over steeper terrain. You should have a certain condition. If you want to avoid the 2 ladders, you can easily do that.
