Description

Update information

Characteristics

A relatively long via ferrata to the top of Donnerkogel. It is one of the most controversial ferrata project in Austria. The route is laid over existing climbing paths and even extends into a hunting area. This sparked an unpleasant debate and led to the division of the central area. Despite all the question marks, the via ferrata gives you a wonderful view and a breathtaking experience. In 2017 there was built a new, incredibly exciting panomatic ladder!

Arrival
