Nice trail along the slope, but then a very steep, impassable descent that is technically very demanding.

The pitch path near Hölles. Some panels describe the pitch work, i.e. the gentle(!) extraction of resin from the trunks of the local black pines. A tour is possible for groups of 10 or more. In addition to the pitch chapel, a pitch hut can also be visited. In the nearby forests, there are still many trees that have been pitched. This can be recognized by the partially missing bark and the cuts in the trunk.

The summit site is directly on the hiking trail, but does not offer any view. It is always a nice place.
