The path in German is called the Marmot path, as there are many marmots to be seen especially as you walk on the right hand side of the ridge. You can hear them whistling to each other, just make sure you don’t lose your footing as you are looking around; the drop is a little precipitous in places.
Difficulty
Moderate
Hiking along trails with some uneven terrain and small hills. Small rocks and roots may be present.
