Climbing the Peternsteig (Grade 4) on the Hohe Wand is a classic and rewarding alpine experience. This via ferrata, while not overly challenging, still demands respect and a good head for heights. The route winds its way up the impressive rock face, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Austrian landscape. Expect exposed traverses, some short, steeper sections requiring precise footwork, and the ever-present feeling of being high above the valley floor. The metal cables and ladders are well-maintained, providing security, but it's important to be comfortable with unclipped sections and to be able to confidently assess your own abilities. The Peternsteig is a great choice for experienced climbers looking for a moderate challenge and breathtaking scenery, or for ambitious beginners accompanied by a more seasoned climber.
