The route to the summit of the Dobratsch, starting point at the Rosstratte car park, can be done in several ways. The easiest, however, is to follow the "normal" route. This should also be possible for inexperienced and not particularly well-equipped people. Good footwear is a must, however, as the path is partly made of coarse gravel and can be slippery, especially when going downhill. It is around 4.5 km with an elevation difference of around 450 m. The effort is definitely worth it, the view from the summit cross is fantastic.
