Mittelbergwand Summit Cross and View

Highlight • Summit

Most beautiful section of the Norissteig with summit cross.
Getting into the chimney is very ambitious and requires surefootedness.
At the end of the via ferrata you will be rewarded with a great view 😎⛰️

Franke Chimney

Highlight • Climb

On the opposite side is the Mittelbergwand with a fireplace.
The Franke chimney was still without a wire rope until 2013 - after which it was reinsured.

Frankenkammer Cave

Highlight • Cave

Accessible and climbable cave, which is also part of the second section of the Höhenglücksteig. Unsecured but equipped with metal steps. A real highlight to be able to climb up or down through a narrow opening.
