Megazwaar, maar wel echt heel leuk om te doen. Doe het niet op natte dagen, want je hebt soms weinig grip

The start of the climb is very hard, parallel to a cable car: you won't get up there without a little change of pace. Once over that wall, you can continue climbing to the castle and then also cross and climb further to the viewpoint even higher up (end of climb "Drachenfels").

De start van de klim is loeihard, parallel met een kabeltreintje : zonder klein verzetje geraak je er niet op. Eens over dat muurtje kan je verder klimmen naar het kasteel en vervolgens ook doorsteken en verder klimmen naar het uitzichtspunt nog hoger (eindpunt klim "Drachenfels")
