The hike is technically easy but requires good fitness due to the length and elevation gain. Avoid the exposed ridge during thunderstorms and take care on wet or snowy ground.Roadbook
The hike starts at Mendel Pass. Follow the well-marked trail towards Roen. The route crosses alpine meadows and larch forests along the scenic Mendel Ridge.
Passing the halfway mountain hut and the Roen alpine meadows, the final section climbs more steeply to the summit of Roen at 2,116 m. From the summit cross, hikers enjoy a magnificent 360-degree panorama over the surrounding mountains and valleys.
