The Fredsteig on the Hohe Wand is a classic and highly enjoyable via ferrata (Klettersteig) experience in Lower Austria. Graded approximately B/C (often described as moderate, aligning with a 'grade 4' for Klettersteig systems), it offers a fantastic blend of moderately challenging climbing sections and breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape. The route primarily traverses solid limestone, featuring a mix of fixed steel cables, iron rungs, and occasional ladders. While not overly exposed in all parts, there are several thrilling sections that require sure-footedness and a head for heights. It's an ideal choice for climbers looking to progress beyond beginner routes or those seeking a rewarding day out with spectacular scenery. Standard via ferrata equipment (harness, helmet, via ferrata set) is essential. The Hohe Wand area itself is very popular, providing other climbing opportunities and amenities.
