Höhlenweg

Climbing the 'Höhlenweg' in the Hochschwab Group, graded IV (UIAA), is a classic alpine rock experience. This route is known for its exposed sections and beautiful views over the Styrian mountains. While 'only' a grade IV, its alpine character – with potential for loose rock, route-finding challenges, and long sections – demands a solid understanding of alpine climbing techniques and a good head for heights. The climb itself offers varied rock features, from slabby sections to more vertical steps, often following natural lines and gullies. Reaching the summit after conquering the route provides a tremendous sense of accomplishment and breathtaking panoramas. The descent typically involves a different, less technical path, allowing for reflection on the climb. It's a memorable day out for any climber seeking a true Hochschwab adventure.
