The starting point is easy to recognize. In the time my girlfriend and i were there, you could see a lonely picknick table standing on the top of the mountain on which you will end your via ferrata. The via ferrata sign points you to a small path down, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes. After the descend just follow the river down till you see the via ferrate sign again. The course itself has a couple of difficulties and escapes. We set out to do the difficult track, which was quite difficult, lots of hanging on the arms. Halfway through we went for the escape route since hard winds and rain suddenly surprised us. Make sure to check the forecast, as the weather can turn quickly here. Overal a nice route that takes you up for about 300 meters withsome nice views.
