November 1, 2023,Aussichtspunkt – Inselsee Runde von Stetternich

This hiking trail was described as "Moderately difficult hike. [...] Easy trails. No special skills required."

I can't understand that, as the planned climb consists of a "shortcut" over three natural stairs on which you have to overcome a height difference of 80 meters within a distance of around 250 meters. That's around a 40% gradient.
