  • Wildromantischer Pfad auf naturbelassenem Untergrund (felsig).
  • verläuft vom Zugang "Carolafelsen" (oberer Einstieg) bis zum "Unteren Affensteinweg".
  • verlangt Kondition (im Aufstieg) und ein wenig Trittsicherheit. Gerade im unteren Teil etwas kraxelig - Metallbügel als Tritt- und Greifhilfe vorhanden (für Hunde ungeeignet!).
  • die steinerne Treppe im unteren Einstieg ist immer feucht und es besteht Rutschgefahr.
