I recommend the tour in the direction shown and not in reverse.

The ascent to the Hanicker Schwaige is very nice and has some nice impressions. It gets really great from the Hanicker Schwaige, from there you have an impressive view, so bring a little patience. :)

A really fabulous round, which is quite exhausting on the last ascent. If necessary, you could use the bus to get back to the Niger Pass from the lowest point. Although there are still a number of beautiful views to be enjoyed.

The first part of the tour leads straight to the Vajolet Towers, with a gigantic view of the Rosengarten every time. You can stop for …

After it had rained quite a lot for two days, today we were able to undertake the hike to the Haniger Schwaige in beautiful weather. The hike impresses with the great views of the Rosengarten. It showed itself in all its facets: sometimes with fog that veiled the peaks, then with gaps in the clouds, and even the Vajolettürme in …
