Sytuacja początkowa

The cycle path along the southern shore of Lake Walen is threatened by falling rocks. An official hiking trail also runs alongside the bike path. So there are also a lot of pedestrians on the trail. The most dangerous sections are between Ofenegg and the Weisswand tunnel. This section is around 500 metres long. The main primary fall zones are the dozens of metre-high rock faces directly above the cycle path, as well as various rocky strips in the overlying steep forest.
