Lenzsteig Via Ferrata Entrance

Highlight • Climb

And at the first hold, you curse the first time and wish you were 5 cm taller...😂
So for those with no experience, I think it's a real nerve-wracking challenge.

Lenzsteig via ferrata

Highlight • Climb

Without any experience, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this climb, as some spots require some courage... and full gear, of course!
No flip-flop zone!

Edelweiß Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can see the delicate little plants before you start the climb... it will be your goal... but remember your helmet and via ferrata set... and don't expect too much from any of your friends.
