Description

Europe's highest prehistoric site, the Drachenloch, is the destination of this demanding hike. The ascent takes place over a very steep mountain path that leads hikers through beech and fir forests to the Gelbberg sheep pasture. From the hut, the Drachenloch in the summit wall of the Drachenberg is visible. The historic cave is reached on a grassy slope and a narrow ledge that requires some concentration. The view of the Rätikon group and up to Piz Buin is overwhelming and unique.

Safety Note

Depending on the weather, some sections can be very slippery.

Equipment

Good hiking equipment, very stable mountain boots.
