Steineberg Cliff Trail

Highlight • Trail

Imposing and high rock face with a small hiking trail. The abyss is quite deep - a head for heights and surefootedness are important, then it is not dangerous.

Summit cross at Bärenköpfle

Highlight • Summit

Once you reach the summit cross, you'll forget all the hardships of the last few minutes when you sit down and let the breathtaking panorama sink in. A great place!

The view was a dream, a …
