Longest climbing route of the Alpstein with 21 pitches and some challenges. According to the first climbers, an actual marathon demanding endurance and fitness. In the most impressive surroundings of the Alpstein with the Fählensee deeply squeezed in the valley bottom between 600m high rock walls, the route ascends north of the lake in the fall line towards the Hundstein summit. Worthy seasonal goal after an intensive preparation phase in the climbing gym and then some climbing routes on rock.
