The climb is quite steep. Once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a great view of Thurant Castle.

From this section of the Way of the Cross between Alken and the Bleidenberg pilgrimage church, you have a beautiful view of Thurant Castle. Coming from Alken, this view is a welcome excuse for a short break on the climb to Bleidenberg...

The paths on the Moselle and around the castle are very rocky and often full of rubble. I definitely recommend good walking shoes. Surefootedness and some experience certainly don't hurt either. If the basic equipment is right, the ascent is highly recommended and the view is really great.
