Hiking

Unpopulated parking, but sufficient, because not overcrowded. Both ways to the summit lead through dense gorse vegetation. Both paths are sandy and scree and offer in many places no secure grip, the shorter route is therefore in the dense vegetation especially downhill sometimes a challenge. The view from the "Stech-Paul" is great for such a small survey.

Hiking

Starting point for a very scenic hike. Attention: The path listed in hiking maps is very overgrown. It is currently not possible to get through, you have to look for an alternative way.

Hiking

A nice view from the summit, the access from the east is okay. Not too much gorse at the moment. The route from the west doesn't work at all. Whether short or long trouser legs, everything here is so overgrown with gorse that finding your way without GPS is almost impossible.
