Some info for those wanting to climb this moutain.
The cable car is closed and they are building a new one to replace it (in theory). Currently no work has started so who knows when it will be.
The bar/restaurant at the top are therefore also closed.
If you want to hike up to the top: we took 2h10 to go up at an (above) average pace and doing some small mistakes/side wandering. To go down we took 1h20. So in total we did 14km, 900+ and took 3h30. Note that the indicative panels indicate 3h30 to go up only.
If you follow the main path, it is very clearly marked and very « easy ». It is a well maintained and wide path. The only difficulty is the distance and gradient (7km one way, 1000m d+) but that’s up to your fitness.
We started from Aschenau.
To sum it up: no cable car. Go by foot. 7km one way.
Ps: there is a danger sign , if you don’t speak German, no worries it is about being careful with your dogs. Some animals might have babies and be protective.
