The route itself proceeds directly over the pillar of the "vordere Niederes Kreuz" and is a wonderful finish of all the via ferratas surrounding the Simony hut.** High-alpine via ferrata in the Dachstein mountains -------------------------------------------------- After a rather easy start through a shallow gully (B), the climb quickly becomes more difficult (C). After a short easy section (A/B), the key section is reached, an upswing with few steps (first C/D, then D). Easier terrain (B) leads to an overhang (C/D). This is followed by the key section of the Wildkar via ferrata, the pillar (C/D) secured with numerous pins. After this, the terrain recedes and becomes much easier (first C, then B and A/B). This is followed by a short challenging section (D) before the difficulties are finally over. The rest of the route mostly runs directly along the ridge and is only partially insured (A to B).
