Difficulty
Physical effort, technical demands, trail conditions, ascent and duration — this says nothing about exposure.
Fear of heights
Exposure only: drop-offs, narrow paths on steep slopes, traverses, bridges and ladders. Assessed independently of the difficulty grade.
Why this rating?
The official description explicitly says the adventure section has exposed passages secured with grips, railings and nets, two suspension bridges of 45 and 60 metres, and a nearly vertical path along the rock face. It states that this section is for hikers with a head for heights.
