Challenging via ferrata at the "castle in the mountains"
This via ferrata route which has been in existence since 1986 was expanded a few years ago to create a more extreme variant at the start (D/E – overhanging ladders). The “normal”
start in contrast has been set up at a difficulty level of B/C. Right before the longest ladder (17 m)
both variants come together again. Continue in the sturdy rock area, which is well-secured to the summit cross, where you can enjoy an outstanding panoramic view to the many three-thousand metre mountains in East Tyrol.
Difficult sections: C – difficult start - variants D/E.
Equipment: Complete via ferrata equipment and helmet.
From Prägraten in about 3 hours to the Sajathütte. From the hut in 10 minutes to the entrance.
Descent: From the summit in a southerly direction on a partially secured trail down to a saddle and further through a gully to the foot of the wall. From here on the trail down to the hut.
