The view on all sides is stunningly beautiful and very impressive and for vertigo-free hikers an absolute highlight!
The ridge path that leads across the Marwees is an alpine blue / white marked path, which in any case requires head for heights and surefootedness. Also, in such ways, the weather is always good mitzubeachten, in snow, wet, frozen ground, very strong wind, etc., such ways quickly become very delicate and a retreat in a sudden weather change can be difficult. On the way there are several short Kraxelstellen and also exposed areas, those places are not secured and therefore require really good surefootedness, because slipping on this way could have fatal consequences. Most of the time the ridge path is not extremely narrow and there are also some wider spots.

Super casual ridge that gives you a unique impression of the beauty of the Alpstein 😍🤩. Experience in alpine hiking is a prerequisite here and therefore absolute surefootedness and, in some cases, a head for heights required. The views from above in all directions are wonderful🤩🙂.
