Häntzschelstiege (Saxon Switzerland National Park)

Highlight • Climb

One of the most beautiful via ferratas in the area. Not difficult, but not to be underestimated.

A via ferrata set is highly recommended (you never know...).

Descent via Wilde Hölle is possible.

Entrance to the Affensteine Area

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is very impressive when you climb the stairs out of the forest and then this majestic wall opens up in front of you. The path to the right towards Häntzschelstiege is also a feast for the eyes.
