Out & back
The Schweinsberg lies in the direct shadow of its neighbors Wendel and Breitenstein. Nevertheless, it is worth a hike here, because it is much quieter than on the other surrounding peaks and the view is still outstanding. It is also very easy to reach the Kesselalm, after that it gets steeper, but nevertheless this path is easy to master under normal conditions.
