Deneck

This is a demanding hike that should not be underestimated.
In addition to wonderful mountain scenery, this tour offers fantastic panoramic views. However, in some sections of the route the hiking route may not be challenged. On the last part of the tour you have to climb over smaller rocks and walk along narrow paths.
