Route description

An alpine, exposed and vertical via ferrata. The via ferrata is not suitable for children!
A short connecting via ferrata from the Vorderer Tajakopf to the Hinterer Tajakopf, which can therefore also be combined very well with the Tajakante via ferrata.

The actual via ferrata is approx. 50 m long and can certainly be rated D if not E. The start is very easy to recognize, as the footholds and steel cable begin at the foot of the wall. The route continues over steep slabs and small overhangs for approx. 50m towards the summit. The last few meters then lead over a steep climb through gravelly terrain to the summit.
The strenuous ascent, with a breathtaking view over the edge, is rewarded with a magnificent panorama at the summit.

Descent
From Hinterer Tajakopf (2408 m), first descend southwards to Tajatörl via the scree terrain (short, easy scree climbing, sections 1, partly secured with steel ropes). Then descend on the marked trail to the Coburger Hütte (1917 m) (approx. 2 hours).

Descent routes
From the Coburger Hütte via the “Hoher Gang”, approx. 2.5 hours.
From the Coburger Hütte via the Ehrwalder Almbahn mountain station, approx. 2.5 hrs.
From the Coburger Hütte via the Immensteig, approx. 2.5 hours.

Attention: The climb has no emergency exit!
