The Raketensteig begins right behind the Schaidabauer Gasthaus and leads to just below the summit of the Sechter. From there you continue towards Ferlacher Horn.
Although the name suggests it, it is not a via ferrata. Nevertheless, it goes uphill like a rocket and the altitude meters tumble. Really very steep, sometimes steeply sloping to the side - and sometimes the path is a bit dilapidated. So really only for sure-footed hikers with a head for heights, but for me the most beautiful ascent to the Ferlacher Horn: namely from the side from which you usually see it (from Klagenfurt).
Sometimes you have to look for the way with a magnifying glass, markings are partly weathered and here and there the route has changed. The route I have marked here is easy to walk though.
(Warning, in the further course towards Ferlacher Horn you have to be a little careful as soon as you come to a forest road after sixth: komoot sent me along the [new] forest road, which then ends a little in nothing and means a little cross-country but can continue downhill on the left after about 100m of the forest road [which I overlooked].)
