Great space and a wonderful view. The last 15 m you have to scramble a little, you should be sure-footed to reach the vantage point. At 586m, the Bitzenberg is a beautiful vantage point.

For climbers, the name Wailing Wall says it all. Anyone who tries to dig into the tiny holes here can quickly find themselves complaining. The rock is up to seven meters high and is part of the Signal Stone.
