View of Zell from the Collis Tower

A nice little climbing spot, but it can easily be bypassed by a small path.

"Lord Jesus, eternal Word of the Father, you have become silence for us. And in the silence that leads us to your tomb, there is one more word that we want to say to you when we think back to the Way of the Cross that we walked with you: Thank you! Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the gentleness that overthrows arrogance. Thank you for the courage with which you took up the cross. Thank you for the peace that flows from your wounds. Thank you for giving your holy Mother to us as our mother too. Thank you for the love you showed in the face of betrayal. Thank you for turning tears into smiles. Thank you for loving everyone without excluding anyone. Thank you for the hope you pour in in the hour of trial. Thank you for the mercy that heals misery. Thank you for laying aside everything to enrich us. Thank you for transforming the cross into a tree of life. Thank you for the forgiveness you offered to your murderers. Thank you for conquering death. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the light you have ignited in our nights, for reconciling every separation and thus making us all brothers and sisters, children of the same Father in heaven." (Prayer for the Way of the Cross with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, Good Friday 2023)

Officially 'steep path' and that describes it much better. Even if there are elements that are familiar from via ferratas, the overall experience is more of a demanding, partly exposed and quite steep hiking trail in passages with clamps/ladders. Hardly anyone will have equipment here (except perhaps for children) and anyone who has a little experience of via ferrata can walk through here comfortably.

Along the Moselsteig, a small place to pause

The via ferrata from Zell to the Collisturm is one of the most difficult via ferratas on the Moselle. In addition to safety ropes and step bars, steep ladders and crossings on pins await you.

A head for heights and surefootedness are required for the via ferrata. Sturdy shoes are recommended. Starting point: Zeller Black Cat Fountain.
