Graded 'A', this route is more of an adventurous hike featuring numerous wooden steps, ladders, and narrow rock passages that lead you upwards through a picturesque gorge. It's not a climb in the traditional sense, but rather a thrilling ascent that requires sturdy footwear and a head for heights, though no special climbing equipment is needed. The unique atmosphere of the narrow chasm, combined with the anticipation of emerging at the summit, makes it truly special. Upon reaching the top of Pfaffenstein, you are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Saxon Switzerland. It's a fantastic family-friendly outing that offers a sense of achievement and unforgettable memories.
