Comfortable shoes, some water and, depending on the season, sun protection or weatherproof clothing are useful. Most of the route is outdoors and uncovered.

Is the route suitable for guests with limited mobility?

The climb involves steps and uneven paths, so it is only partly accessible. Let us know in advance and we'll find a suitable alternative together.
