Exit of the Second Section of the Edelrid Via Ferrata

Highlight • Climb

A nice review of the mastered climbing passage. The 2nd part is a bit more demanding than the first part of the Edelrid via ferrata. From here you can hike into the valley via the Iseler or the Kühgrundkopf.

With 1876 meters the second highest peak on the degree of the northern Rauhhornzuges.
The view of the surrounding mountain landscape is huge. The path to the Iseler summit requires not only certain surefootedness.

Surprisingly, I haven't found any summer route descriptions from Oberjoch through the north face of Kühgundkopf and Iseler. So I stuck roughly to this winter tour report allgaeu-plaisir.de/grenzgaenger-am-kuehgundkopf. I laboriously bypassed the "icefall" to the right through mountain pines. There's definitely a more elegant way. Then right into the steep grassy gully to the rocky step. Cross to the left …

Beautiful but also demanding via ferrata - sure-footedness and a head for heights required! The climb is suitable for experienced climbers 🧗🏻 with the appropriate equipment. Because of the minimum age, there are different indications on the internet between 10 and 12 years, on the trail itself it says 14. Our daughter is 12 and almost 1.60m tall - she …

Not my favorite KS in the Allgäu. Speckig and the fuses, although refurbished in 2021, are (probably due to the rock) not attached in a liquid manner.

Wide distances at the wire rope interfaces, sometimes high for small people. But the panorama of the Iseler in the sunset makes up for a lot.

What was meant by this was the so-called Bad Oberdorf summit or the corresponding Oberdorf cross. We found it too, but it can only be seen on one of the photos with a very close zoom. 😅 With very summery temperatures and a planned trip to the Iseler summit anyway, we got the O.K. but left out. Let's do it …
