There are sections of the path over the Veronikaberg that are rocky (so layered and partly loose) and steeply lead up. Many sections are also strewn with tree roots. So you get that alpine feeling for a short time 🤩🥾 Unfortunately the mountain is not high, but despite everything you can enjoy beautiful, wide views from above!
