Conquer the fortress hill on foot

However, visitors can also reach the fortress on foot. Via the Vogeltennweg, on which you walk steadily uphill through a sparse forest, you reach the first and second barrier arch after around 15 minutes, where the ticket office is located. The ascent takes about half an hour in total. Sturdy footwear is advisable for the ascent, but especially for the descent in wet weather.
