Highlight • Summit

Unfortunately, the 1472 m high mountain is not allowed to be climbed. There is a path though, so not everyone seems to stick to it.

Very beautiful panorama in all directions. The transmitter station does not offer any food, toilets or trash cans.
The wind whistles really hard here.

So: pack a windbreaker, hold on to your trash and, above all, take it with you.
