Terrain:

Terrain: The path from Gradbach to Lud's Church involves walking through woodland (Back Forest) on earthy, very uneven, rocky, and rooty trails that can be extremely muddy and slippery. There are some moderate ascents and descents on these approach paths. Entry into Lud's Church itself requires a steep, stepped, and rocky descent into a deep, narrow gritstone chasm. Inside Lud's Church, the "path" is on uneven rock, often wet and mossy, with some scrambling over boulders and through narrow passages.
