Registration until :
2021-08-04
Type of event :
Klettersteig (Via Ferrata)
Organized by :
Michaela Potancokova
Description :

Two easy klettersteige on the northern, quieter side of Rax make for a nice summer escape into cooler air. This hike is a roundtrip from Hinternasswald. We'd go up Wildfaehrte (B), hike up to Heukuppe if we have time and the weather is on our side. Then we descend through Zahmes Gamseck (Gamsecksteig A/B) and Nassriegel back to Hinternasswald.

Some experience with easy klettersteige is an advantage but in principle this hike is suitable also for beginners. Surefootedness and confidence in rocky terrain are a must - as well as good stamina because it is a rather long hike of 16.1km with quite some altitude gain:
