Schnepfau | Abendrot via ferrata

Short, sporty via ferrata.

When standing below it is hard to believe that people actually climb this incredibly sheer vertical wall. And yet one can climb the wall with long steps via a block upstream. Sparingly placed footholds help to ascend the wall safely. Those who want to climb to the top will need a healthy amount of upper body strength. It’s perfect for more experienced climbers and is not recommended to the less experienced.

Difficulty: D/E

The starting point is the car park on the forestry trail to the dam on the northeastern city limits. From here, head on foot through a mostly dry stream bed for about 10 minutes to the starting point.

To return from the exit, walk through the fence and take the hiking trail (to the left) to the forestry trail back to parking area.
