Tour description

Three via ferrata routes, three levels of difficulty – beginners and seasoned climbing pros alike will find something to suit them at Höhenburg Castle.

With the ‘Mooser-Mandl’, the ‘Drossen-Hex’ and the ‘Limberg-Zwerg’, three varied via ferrata routes await you at the Höhenburg, between Drossen and Moosersperre. The ‘Limberg-Zwerg’ in particular incorporates the historic iron ladder of the former high mountain school and offers an exciting C-level key section with the ‘Zwergenleiter’ (dwarf ladder). All routes end at the summit of the Höhenburg – the descent is relaxed via the Höhenburg hiking trail.

Mooser Mandl: Climb length: 110 metres · Duration: 30 minutes · Difficulty: C
Drossen Hex: Climb length: 100 metres · Duration: 30 minutes · Difficulty: E
Limberg Zwerg: Climb length: 50 metres · Duration: 15 minutes · Difficulty: B/C
