And at the first hold, you curse the first time and wish you were 5 cm taller...😂
So for those with no experience, I think it's a real nerve-wracking challenge.

From here on at the latest you should wear a helmet! Due to the brittle shell limestone, smaller stones are repeatedly loosened by those who climb ahead.

Mountaineering

The start of the Lenzsteig is an important point to start your via ferrata tour off right. Make sure you have the right equipment with you, especially a via ferrata set with carabiners and a helmet. The start can be a bit steep or technically demanding at first, but don't worry - it also offers a great opportunity to slowly get used to the challenges of the climb.
