Stopselzieher

One of the climbs to the Zugspitze. The name Stopselzieher or Stopselsteig has the well secured via ferrata from a washout cave, through which one climbs at the beginning.

The via ferrata is classified in difficulty level A / B. For beginners, timid, children and not afraid of heights, it is advisable to create a via ferrata set.
Experienced people will not need this.
But a helmet should be a "must", because stones can be kicked out by previous ones.

In good weather my recommendation to climb up early in the morning. If you are there in time before the first tracks, you can also make it to the cross.

Very nice tour, very varied and demanding.

Surefootedness and a head for heights are required.

In the case of old snow fields, the quite simple via ferrata becomes a dangerous challenge for inexperienced people.Be sure to memorize / print out the path well beforehand, there are a few nasty branches that you may overlook or go wrong.Whoever wants can split up the tour and spend the night in the Wiener Neustätzer hut.

The approach to the via ferrata is a kind of cave through which the steel cable secured path leads. The via ferrata is not difficult in itself, but it does require a lot of stamina. On July 30, 2020 everything was completely snow-free except for the small snow field at Wiener Neustädter Hütte.
