When I wanted to go the tour (blue) it was just too wet.
I then only walked the Felsensteig (red) and can say that it was exactly the right decision. …

A hike over the Felsensteig and through the forest also helps to cool off in summer.

October 18, 2022,Urdonautal / Kletter- und Wandersteig Oberlandsteig
Beautiful autumn hike in the Urdonautal near Konstein. The Oberlandweg is a fanatical via ferrata that combines hiking, simple rock climbing and via ferrata. From the top you can enjoy the wonderful panorama over today's Wellheim Dry Valley.

Via ferrata (difficulty B) with a beautiful view, suitable for beginners and children as described. Maybe depending on which place and which children, I thought to myself. But children were definitely there.
