This is a difficult hike that should only be attempted by advanced and experienced hikers. The decisive factor here is the ascent and descent passages, some of which have to be climbed.
Author’s recommendation
Due to the steep grassy slopes, do not climb when it is wet!

Equipment
- Good footwear (sturdy high shoes with non-slip soles), rain, cold and sun protection, sufficient drinks, hiking map, emergency equipment (first aid kit, blister plasters, etc.).
- Packing your backpack correctly makes a lot of things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should be stored within easy reach in a side pocket. Items that are often needed such as sunglasses, camera, hiking map, etc. belong on top.
