The neighboring summit of the Hohenstein is undeniably much less well known.

Where the tall box is more of a tourist magnet, the Staubernkanzel is more of a "real" mountain peak - very distinctive with steeply sloping walls and pointed like a needle - a dream of a peak.

Directly under the steep wall of the summit is the beautiful Gasthaus Staubern (or Stauberen) in a spectacular location with views of the entire Rhine Valley and the Alpstein Mountains.

Attention: There are 2 ways to the top of the mountain. The path on the left is very steep and impassable and probably leads to a difficult via ferrata for which you need climbing equipment.

The path to the right of the summit / guest house (which would eventually lead to the Saxer gap) is easy to walk on and easily recognizable. Just walk a few hundred meters from the inn along the path until you pass through a small "stone gate". Then immediately up the mountain.

Of course, what you always have in front of you is a very short, but vertical climbing passage just before the Hipfel - about 4 to 5 meters up the rock.

Although secured with steel rope and pins, but at least for climbing experienced maybe a little tricky.
