Geiler Hengst on the camper wall (D/E-E)

Bahnhofstraße 2
4580 Windischgarsten

A via ferrata between two climbing routes

The Kampermauer is known for its more than 300 climbing routes. Since 2012, it has also offered a challenging alternative for via ferrata fans.
The existing two mountain rescue via ferratas were connected with an extreme via ferrata. This created a challenging loop with rope bridges, overhanging sections and the recommendation to bring your climbing shoes. The descent is via an easy via ferrata A/B. You will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Haller Mauern opposite.

How difficult will it be?
Get ready for long D and E sections. Climbing shoes are helpful for the overhanging part, these are best put on before the 2nd rope bridge.
