More of a hike than a climb, but this is where you come down from the via ferrata.

720 steps await us, and in between there is a spectacular view of the valley and the Stuibenfall. The bridge swings a little - so it's best not to have a (great) fear of heights. But it's definitely worth it! Attention dog owners: The steps and platforms are large grates and not suitable for dogs. Small dogs should be carried as they can fall between the steps.

Once you have crossed the Tajatörl and descended to the Drachensee, you have a magnificent view of the Drachensee and Drachenkopf during the descent. You can stop off at the Coburger Hütte directly on the lake and also spend the night there.
