Description

Two routes were built with a rope length of about 250 running meters: Route 1, at difficulty level C/D, and Route 2, a sport via ferrata variant "E", which is very attractive for athletic via ferrata climbers due to the steepness.

The approach path starts a little east of the bus stop "Kramsach Parkplatz Halbinsel". 20 minutes through the forest to the belay point and further to the start. Tip: Just before the start, take a short detour to the beautiful waterfall to recharge your strength and energy and enjoy the view. This time is a must because the Reintalersee via ferrata is generally more for connoisseurs as it impresses with:

  • great views from the wall over the lake area + Lower Inn Valley
  • recharging energy at the beautiful waterfall near the start
  • after the via ferrata, you can end the day at the lake

The descent path leads about 1 hour first over a forest path, then over the existing hiking trail "Bärengrube" to Krummsee and further back to Reintalersee.
