The tour includes a steep passage that is very slippery when/after it rains, but you can avoid it on an 800m longer alternative route.

Shortly after the hiking car park, a path goes up to the right, which is currently very slippery. There is also an excellent bypass route for this. The Tiefental is very beautiful due to the rock formations. A comfortable beautiful tour
