The Eggersteig or Josef Egger Weg is a trail that leads through the Steinerne Rinne of the Elmauer Tor. It is named in honor of its builder. The climb is well suited as a practice climb - even with children - because you can turn back at any time depending on your mood, time and condition. The course in the second section is very steep and difficult. A via ferrata set including a helmet should definitely be worn.

The many steps make the path very easy to walk. If you have sure-footedness and experience on the mountain, you don't necessarily need a via ferrata set. However, everyone should wear a helmet. The path starts out very easy and level and becomes very steep towards the end (towards Steinerne Rinne).
