A very, very great tour, no, not a tour, a climbing tour and please not made for every inexperienced mountain tourist. You should have experience on the mountain, climb with belays, be sure-footed, have no fear of heights, be well conditioned and have a time and weather plan, then it's a pleasure. Recommendation is from Wimbachgries to the Watzmannhaus. Spend the night there and the next morning cross the Watzmann and descend from the south summit (takes a lot of time due to the scree) to the Wimbachgries hut. There we take a short rest and refreshment and continue through the Wimbachgries back to the Wimbachbrücke car park.
When the weather is great, the crossing is a dream, with an incredible view of the entire Alpine panorama and Lake Königssee, but this crossing is a real parade tour... but not without it, it's quite a house number. It is no longer just a via ferrata, as the mountain rescue service has removed some insurance policies so that inexperienced tourists are held back.

Only do this if the weather forecast is optimal. Absolute head for heights and surefootedness, enormous fitness for the ascent, concentration and perseverance until the end of the descent are essential. And take enough water and food with you.
