Climbing the Teufelsgrat (Devil's Ridge) on the Hohe Wand is a memorable experience for any intermediate climber. Graded at 3+, this via ferrata offers a thrilling ascent along a prominent rocky ridge. The route boasts fantastic exposure and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Lower Austrian landscape. Expect some airy traverses, short but steep climbs, and the occasional slightly overhanging section that will test your strength and technique. Good footwork and a head for heights are essential. The fixed cables are generally well-maintained, providing a secure handhold, but always inspect them before trusting your weight. The feeling of accomplishment upon reaching the summit after navigating the Teufelsgrat is well worth the effort. Remember to check weather conditions beforehand, as the exposed nature of the ridge can make it dangerous in inclement weather.
