Attention: The via ferrata is closed during the winter months from October 11th to May 15th!

The start of the via ferrata can be reached from Holzgau in about half an hour. It is divided into three routes of varying difficulty levels, which can be easily combined with one another: the chamois (B/C), the ibex (C+) and the eagle route (D/E). A highlight is certainly the crossing of the roaring Simms waterfall using a total of three rope bridges. A via ferrata experience that is absolutely recommended!👌

What this highlight means is the Simms Waterfall. It can be reached through the right side of the valley via a good gravel path towards Rossgumpenalm/Café Uta, so you can observe the waterfall from close up. It was created artificially in the 19th century by the Englishman Frederic Simms through blasting. The waterfall is about 30 m high and is fed by the Höhenbach. There are many hikers on the route, most of whom want to go to the Holzgau suspension bridge.

A nice place for climbers.

Depending on the weather, the short walk through the gorge to the waterfall can be very slippery.

Discovered by chance. Is a natural highlight that you have to see.

The Schwarzwasserbach ripples through the beautiful winter landscape. The natural bridge over the stream is closed in winter, but makes for a great photo opportunity!

The suspension bridge near Holzgau im Lechtal, also known as the Holzgau suspension bridge, is a 200.5 meter long, 1.20 meter wide and 110 meter high rope suspension bridge in Austria. At times it was the longest and highest rope suspension bridge in Austria. It spans the Höhenbachtal Gorge north of the village. [1] At the two edges of the gorge there are 5.20 m high pylons made of steel girders, over which the two 50 mm thick suspension ropes are guided, which are anchored in the ground behind the pylons with nine rock anchors each. The vertical hangers are attached to the carrying ropes and carry the running surface covered with a grating. A 1.30 m high handrail is mounted on both sides of the walking surface, which is connected to the grating by a wire mesh. The bridge is guyed by ropes leading down to the slopes of the gorge to prevent excessive vibrations. At night the bridge is illuminated with LEDs. The bridge is designed for a load of 630 people. The plans were drawn up by the architecture firm Walch from Reutte. The 125 km long European long-distance hiking trail, Lechweg, runs over the bridge on the Gföll- zum Schiggenberg. On March 1, 2012, it was released for use. The official opening took place together with Lechweg on June 15, 2012. The construction costs amounted to approx. € 560,000 for the bridge and € 90,000 for the feeder roads. 2/3 of the costs were borne by the EU and the state of Tyrol. The suspension bridge, which always sways slightly, can also be bypassed. Those who do not have a head for heights can hike down into the Höhenbachtal, past the artificial Simmswasserfall to Café Uta. From there a hiking trail leads up to the Schigge.
