If you meet the requirements, this via ferrata will reward you with an unforgettable experience. The assembly of 10 ladders, 130 step bars and approx. 180 meters of wire rope was necessary to enable hikers to enjoy this special climbing experience in the Rhine Valley. Steep rock faces alternate with secured areas and often lead to narrow paths with abysses opening up in front of them. Sophisticated Rhine experience from a bird's eye view at the gates of the city.
Climb the via ferrata at your own risk!
