Route description

In the round with the Spiehlerturm (2,550 m), Parzinnturm (2,590 m) and Steinkarturm (2,595 m), the via ferrata leads in a fantastic route with incomparable views of the Steinsee and many walls and peaks on the ridge between Steinkarturm and Steinkarspitze.

Over the typical, inclined slabs, it is not too difficult to get to the ridge in the well-stepped rock. A pleasant half-day tour from the hut, which can also be mastered with children - provided they are fit, have alpine experience and additional safety.
