A great hike with insights into the life of the wolf. 60% of the trail is single trail, some sections are a bit overgrown, but overall, the natural beauty outweighs the rest. Highly recommended. There are safety ropes in certain places, but you don't need them if you don't suffer from vertigo and concentrate on the trail. As always, sturdy …

April 12, 2025,Höchenschwand - Strittberg – Oberer Felsenweg

From Höchenschwand, we went to the entrance of the Wolfsteig trail, from there down to Strittberg and the Wolfspfad trail. Then we returned to Höchenschwand via the wonderful rocky path, which requires a certain degree of surefootedness and a head for heights.
