Dream tour for all alpine via ferrata lovers! --------------------------------------------- Great alpine via ferrata above the **Great Gosau Glacier** in the tour area of the **Adamekhütte** on the NW slopes of the Hohe Kreuz. The via ferrata begins in an often shady steep wall and becomes a beautiful ridge ferrata from the Simonyscharte. **Grandiose views** of the **glacier world of the Dachstein massif** and the **Hohen Dachstein** accompany the via ferrata hiker up to the 2837 m high summit of the Hoher Kreuz. An alpine descent rounds off this high-altitude tour ferrata in style at the end, depending on the day's destination and time, you head for the **Adamek or Simonyhütte** . For high-altitude tour lovers among via ferrata hikers, this is certainly one of the best via ferrata tours in the entire Dachstein region, but it also requires appropriate (glacier) experience!
