Hiking

This is a very nice narrow forest road. The signpost is a yellow one, so it is considered a normal trail, for which I feel it but quite narrow and also requires a bit of headache. The forest path leads through a steep terrain and in the snow with caution to enter.

Nice but narrow hiking trail. Due to the steep descent on one side, a head for heights is certainly a good prerequisite. Otherwise, poles are definitely good equipment, also with regard to the upcoming passage to the summit.
