Hiking

Coming from Görau from the ravine, turn right before Niesten uphill. Watch out! Not straight ahead, but up the slope to the right in front of the barn!

Simply recommended if you appreciate natural paths, the ascent goes over a narrow path, ultimately the great view rewards you.

It's a steep uphill climb here, but it's worth it. The view is wonderful.
