Characteristics

The Burgenklettersteig in Manderscheid is the best non-alpine via ferrata in Germany! The Ferrata has everything a great via ferrata needs - great scenery (beautiful town, mostly by the stream, pure volcanic Eifel), historical highlights (Upper and Lower Castle, old knight's paths) and interesting, sometimes quite crisp via ferrata passages. In this ferrata you traverse primarily along the rocks, of course there are also steep vertical passages - the key to success is often a bit tricky, you have to look left and right for good steps for the feet.

Arrival

Approach
