This section is easily manageable with a T2 difficulty rating. Anyone wishing to continue to the Baden side should find out about the ridge beforehand.

This tower is a radar station (secondary radar) for air traffic control and is operated by Skyguide. It processes exclusively echoes actively emitted by flying objects. Unlike the primary radar, which also uses echoes emitted immediately beforehand.

The way there is a gravel road, which is fine. On the way back, we turned further left onto a nice path, not the designated route.

The largest beech tree on the Altberg 🤩. Right next to an excavated boulder that can be used as a wonderful resting place 👍
