Germknödelsteig

Climbing the Germknödelsteig (6+) in the Dachstein Mountains is a challenging and rewarding alpine experience. This via ferrata is known for its steep, exposed sections and sustained difficulty, demanding a good level of fitness and climbing technique. Expect vertical walls, airy traverses, and demanding passages that require both strength and precision. The exposure is significant, so a head for heights is essential. The rock quality is generally good, but be aware of loose rock, especially after bad weather. Reaching the summit and enjoying the panoramic views of the Dachstein glacier and surrounding peaks makes the effort worthwhile. Proper equipment (via ferrata set, helmet, harness) is absolutely mandatory, and experience with similar routes is highly recommended. It's not a climb for beginners!
