It was still snowing in the valley in the morning and there was some snow again (1 -2cm). Let's see what's up above.

Today it was on the elbows. In fact, in my opinion, the steepest way in some sections. With partly 14%. 30 min takes with brisk pace.

Noah's Sail is a very nice observation tower. 2€
There are vending machines at the bottom. The hike, however, is not recommended. Just gravel, downhill, uphill and endless braking.
