I can highly recommend the “Wild Hell”. It is surprising that there is no sign at the beginning of the gorge about the difficulty. Without appropriate footwear, nothing can be done here and for those who are inexperienced, it is quite an experience. By the way – more up than down!!!

Langes Horn Ridge Trail and Midsection Viewpoint

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

For those who prefer climbing a la Häntzschelstiege, Rotkehlchenstiege, Zwillingsstiege and whatever they are called, are a no-go when hiking, you have the option of hiking along the Langes Horn ridge path, which is actually the way back from the Häntzschelstiege, to the vantage point at the end of the Häntzschelstiege. Much safer than climbing unsecured (like me 🙄) through the Häntzschelstiege.

A great day. 😀
With the Kirnitzschtalbahn from Bad Schandau to the Beuthenfall.
The hike to the Hentzschelstiege began. You should really only do the first ascent with a climbing set😅.
That was a really great climb!
Then take a break on the Carolafelsen, always beautiful and great views. 😳
Wilde Hölle back down and over to the Zwillingsstiege.
