Safety
Wear sturdy footwear; narrow passages on the slope can be slippery.
Accessibility
Not accessible: narrow, steep sections can be slippery in wet weather. An easier partial route will be defined during field testing.
Plan B
In wet, icy or closed conditions, a short town-and-Saale walk replaces the hillside section.
