Description

The via ferrata offers two routes with a rope length of approx. 250 running metres: route 1, difficulty level C/D and route 2, a sporty via ferrata variant "E", which is very popular with experienced via ferrata climbers due to its steepness.

The entrance path begins just a little to the east of the "Kramsach Parkplatz Halbinsel" bus stop. Walk through the forest (approx. 20 minutes) to the rope-up and entry point.

Tip: a a detour to the beautiful waterfall shortly before the entrance is well worthwhile - recharge your batteries and enjoy the view. Afford yourself the time. It would be a pity to miss out on all the via ferrata Lake Reintal impressions: 

  • great views over the lake plateau and the Lower Inn Valley
  • Recharge your batteries at the beautiful waterfall near the entrance
  • when you've finished climbing end the day at the lake

The descent takes about 1 hour, initially via a forest track and then via the existing hiking "Bärengrube" trail to Lake Krumm and back to Lake Reintal.
