Great viewing point on the Bastei. Usually very crowded. If you want to walk and see in peace, you should get there early. There are usually only a few runners.

Honigsteingrat Ridge

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

You should be sure-footed, because you have to climb a good way up and must sometimes run close to the rocks along. You do not need climbing ropes, but you should take a closer look at where you climb up.
