Itinerary description

This route is called the Mittelrhein klettersteig. klettersteig is German for Via Ferrata. This is a great beginners introduction to the sport. The route is mostly formed of ladders but has one small section with pins which would be good for first timers to know whether they are going to like it. A harness and lanyard is needed if you are new to this, otherwise it is possible without

The via ferrate section lasts about 30 mins, after this, it is a beautiful but steep in places woodland hike. There are two restaurants near the end of the walk with amazing views down onto the Rhine.

The route down follows the Chairlift, still a lovely walk down and no quicker on the Chair lift than walking!
