A beautiful walking tour where you need to climb a lot of stairs and/or descend. By train or car to Rathen and there with the ferry over. The walk is signposted. Go for 2 to 3 hours. Go preferably early due to the many visitors.

Mind-blowing nature space with ridiculous landscapes a short(ish) climb away. From the front the place looks kind of unassuming and then once you've up there, it's endlessly impressive.

Stunning views. The small additional Tour for 2€ of the firmer Fortress grounds is worth it for the amazing views. The Bridge is free otherwise. Very organized Shuttle and bis Service available

since there's a road and car park, the place gets very crowded on weekends.
