Hiking

you have to look closely to find the path towards the forgotten stairs. It doesn't seem to have been used often and is therefore quite overgrown.
When descending after rain, the path can be quite slippery. But it's a great route

Hiking

The staircase on the north-west side of the Pope stone does not look like much, but it is a very comfortable and nice descent. The access from above is not that easy to see. I was really in a bucket and apparently too broken to take pictures. Therefore only a picture of the entry and looking back at the lower end.

Hiking

If you are looking for some peace and quiet on the Papststein and are sure-footed, we recommend the alternative western ascent. The entrance is somewhat hidden in the pine forest. No great skill is required for the climb. It only gets a little steeper at the upper end of the gorge.
