Direkter Adalbertsteig

Climbing the "Direkter Adalbertsteig" (grade 6) on the Hohe Wand is a truly memorable experience. This via ferrata, while not the most challenging on the Wand, demands a solid level of fitness and confidence on exposed terrain. The route follows a direct line up a steep rock face, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Expect a good mix of iron rungs, ladders, and natural rock steps. While some sections are quite exposed, especially higher up, the quality of the protection is excellent, providing a reassuring sense of security. The difficulty lies not just in the technical moves, but also in the sustained nature of the climb. Be prepared for a longer day out, factoring in approach, climb time, and descent. Proper gear, including a helmet, via ferrata set, and sturdy boots, is essential. A head for heights is a must, and it's recommended to have prior experience with via ferratas before attempting the "Direkter Adalbertsteig". Reaching the summit and looking back down the route is an incredibly rewarding feeling, solidifying a sense of accomplishment and providing breathtaking panoramas.
