Hiking

This view makes you look forward to the narrow ascent and the great view of Barbarine and the surrounding area

Hiking

Start at the trail parking lot Pfaffenstein, then entry into the Pfaffenstein through the bottleneck is recommended in my estimation, if you want to start energetic - because it starts right athletic active demanding with neat slope and great impressions / bottlenecks. When the higher level is reached, rewarding the great view and from there it is easier in the higher level to move forward.

Here you can keep in mind what the goal is. Once at the top, the climb is definitely worth it.
