It can also be tackled in two stages for those with less endurance.** The "Max-Ascent" is the somewhat easier and shorter way. At the highest stage one can leave the climb via a hiking path and hike back to the starting point. If you are however still fit enough, you can also take on the "Moritz-climb" - across a small rope crossing and then descend down to the "Brunnbach". The end of this climb is directly by the start of the "Schiedsteig". The whole tour takes about 1 hour. A real challenge for children and young people that offers fun and pride!
