  • (If by car, optional swim: https://maps.app.goo.gl/x4nB2WLsbqxNYV8H9. Parking in weekends probably: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SMRGVVMLdm5TgYH6A. It doesn't look like there's a swimming place at Ziegelbrucke itself.)  

Please note that if you cannot keep up with 450 elevation an hour, we cannot wait for you. We don't want to hold up the whole group. Please note that if you want to go faster, I request you to wait at the breaks.

Grade: T3, slightly challenging, not alpine. Steep.
