Type of event :
Klettersteig (Via Ferrata)
Organized by :
Michaela Potancokova
Description :

Rax traverse with some easy klettersteig fun - from Hinternasswald to Hollental. From Hinternaswald we take the Baerenlochsteig  (B) and continue to Scheibwaldhoehe (1942m), the second highest bump on Rax. From there we descent with hopefully some lovely Schneeberg views and decide depending on time whether we'd walk down Kesselgraben and pass the Gloggnitzer huette or take the route towards Gaislochsteig (B) and end the hike at Weichtalhaus.

This is not technically difficult hike, but it is pretty long route (cca 18km) and because we'll need to rely on public buses good stamina (and rather swift walking pace) is needed. In principle this hike is suitable for people without previous ferrata experience but surefootedness and confidence in a rocky terrain are a must.

The route will be something like this:
