The rock hiking trail at a glance

The Felsenweg trail covers a total distance of 100 meters – and every section is full of highlights. Walking along the metal grated floor connected to the rock face, you will feel as if you were “gliding” across the valley at lofty heights. For unlimited views of the surrounding landscape, the balustrade is made of see-through wire mesh.

The last 16 meters of the trail are particularly action-packed, requiring you to cross a short suspension bridge to reach the bright orange viewing platform. In summer, you can enjoy splendid views across the lush green valley from there. If you choose to walk the robust metal grate trail in winter, you’ll be treated to magical views of the snow-covered mountains. In any case, a walk along the rock trail is an unforgettable experience at any time of the year.
