A very nice tour. However, not recommended without Komoot because there is very poor signage. But the view is awesome

A beautiful hike, but with short and steep climbs. Nevertheless, the somewhat obscured view from the Roter Schuß made up for it. Some sections of the trail require surefootedness and balance.
