Itinerary description

This is a beautiful but very challenging hike. There are several bouldering walls along the way that you need to climb — this could be very difficult (and dangerous!). In general, I wouldn't recommend this route if you haven't bouldered before or just want to have a relaxed hike (in that case, don't be a fool and just do the Patteklip trail).

We started at the lower cableway station and went up following the India Venster trail. It starts nice and easy, but after 1 hour you start finding some boulders to climb — there are several of those during the next two hours. Some of them have a "via Ferrata" style with no security (don't go if you're afraid of heights). The views are stunning. Eventually we got to the top and finished our trail at the café close to the upper cableway station.
