    Hiking

    a great climb

    Hiking

    Also suitable for children, not a via ferrata and not a ladder climb either, but all stairs through the so-called Wolfsschlucht - albeit steep and narrow!

    Hiking

    The ladder ascent through the Wolfschlucht is a particularly impressive, but also somewhat adventurous section on the way to the Hockstein viewpoint. The narrow path leads through a narrow, rocky gorge and is supplemented by metal ladders and stairs in steeper sections.
