Route description

The new via ferrata was built in 2022 by the mountain hunters Osttirol for training and recovery purposes and is now also one of the generally accessible via ferrata in the Galitzenklamm. With a length of 650 meters and with about 220 hm quite airy in the height the via ferrata leads directly over the raging floods of the Galizenklammbach. The via ferrata requires a certain amount of strength and endurance. The real highlight, however, is the "Mountain Warrior" variant, an absolutely difficult via ferrata (E/F) with a tricky overhang that can be climbed depending on the chosen technique and skill. 

Difficulties: Access point E, in some places C/D, a longer section D, in the upper area a section C. On the secured descent also up to B!
Approach: The approach is via the Galitzenklamm via ferrata (C).
Descent: From the highest point of the via ferrata through steep forest terrain, which is, however, completely rope-secured up to the viewing platform. 
Special features: On the "normal ascent" the airy lines are convincing. Special is the variant "Mountain Warrior" - absolutely difficult via ferrata (E/F) with imposing overhang - and only for really strong forearms!
