Description: Via ferrata only for experienced climbers with glacier experience
Dreamtour for every experienced alpine climber
An outstanding alpine fixed rope route above the Große Gosaugletscher in the climbing area of the Adamek Hut at the NW-Face of the Hohes Kreuz mountain. The via ferrata starts trough shady and steep face and turns later to a beautiful ridge-route. Spectacular views into the glacier world of the Dachstein mountain range and the Hohe Dachstein accompany the climbers up to the 2837 m high summit of the Hohes Kreuz. A long alpine descent completes high-alpine ferrata. Depending on the day's destination and time you head down to the Adamek or Simony Hut. For fans of alpnine fixed rope routes definitely one of the best via ferrate routes in the Dachstein area, but it also requires appropriate alpine (glacier) experience!
