"Amazing half-day trip! Plenty of parking (€6 for a day ticket). No waiting line for the cable car. The views on the way up are great, and the view from the top is absolutely amazing. There are places to eat at the base and the top (prices differ), and lots of seating. Great for kids too! Highly recommend for an easy, scenic outing."

"Fantastic cable car! You can get out halfway and we thought that was it and were happy but then you do the other half ascent! Just wow! You are in the clouds, above the clouds and it is just awesome 🥰 helpful staff who understood our English. Love Germany 🇩🇪 and its beautiful natural landscape. Pictures will never do it justice 🥰"

"Station for the cable car to go to the top of the mountain. Staff at the ticket counter are friendly and helpful to get the best value. We went to mittelstation and then hiked the rest of the way up that was very gruelling. Would bot recommend hike from the base to the summit as no real views and first section is fairly boring. Cable cars fit four normal size people and had great views"
