There are two clearly defined alpine ascents that are easily manageable with trekking poles. Beyond these, there are other routes, but these carry a slightly higher risk of slipping. This risk can be reduced by wearing very good hiking boots, using trekking poles effectively, and having absolute sure footing. Any injuries can be mitigated by reacting quickly and correctly if you do slip. A free fall is out of the question as long as you're not climbing. Given the loose rock, climbing is not advisable anyway.

You can do the trail without climbing equipment. However, it's very steep, sometimes slippery, and unsecured. In my opinion, it's very dangerous when wet. Fantastic views!

Yes, you could say that: you don't need climbing equipment. But it's steep, sometimes slippery, and not doable when wet. Fantastic view from the top!

Not far from the train station, two beautiful historic steel truss bridges lead over the Saale to the hiking trails to Leuchtenburg. It's worth looking at the river and the beavers' tracks from here!

I liked it. At least 6 platforms. With shelters. Ideal for starting and ending hikes.

The view of the rock from the bike path. A few daring people try to climb up here again and again. A little hint; let it go. The rock is brittle and very loose. The rescue from the wall is only possible with great effort. So just look up in awe and hope that the Leuchtenburg doesn't accidentally come your way.
