We always find it fascinating that such landscapes exist in our surroundings. In fact, until a few years ago, we still assumed that you could only find a gorge in the southern mountain regions.... This route is once again a real gem, and with the extension of 3km, it is no walk in the park. Surefootedness, freedom from vertigo, and also stamina are required. Some climbs definitely have an alpine character. The views are really very beautiful and also a compliment to the planners who have placed many benches in the right spots.
Have fun!!
