Depending on the variant, simple (A-C) to crisp (D, with a short overhang E). All in all, it's a rather short climb - if it's quiet you can also make a round trip out of it. Topo at bergwandern.com/touren/klettersteig/kaenzele-klettersteig

Gebhardsberg

Highlight • Castle

Around 1100, the Count of Bregenz built the castle on a rocky outcrop of the Gebhardsberg high above the town. "Sunken in holy enthusiasm..." is how a poem begins - inspired by Hohen Bregenz Castle. In 1143 the castle went to the Counts of Pulllendorf, a short time later around 1170 to Count Palatine Hugo II of Tübingen (father of Hugo I, Count of Montfort). In 1451 the upper and in 1523 the lower part of the castle was sold to the Habsburgs and the castle became the seat of Austrian bailiffs. Converted into a fortress at the beginning of the 17th century, the Swedes blew up large parts of the castle during the Thirty Years' War. The circular wall and parts of the palace have been preserved. The attached church became a popular place of pilgrimage in honor of Saint Gebhard. The old sexton's house, which has now been converted into a restaurant, looks forward to your visit. Even today, the fantastic view over the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance attracts numerous visitors.
