Climbing the "Babygrat" on Hohe Wand is an excellent choice for beginners and families seeking a relatively easy and rewarding via ferrata experience. Graded 1+ (A/B in some systems), it presents mostly scrambling and easy climbing sections, with minimal exposure. The via ferrata follows a distinct, well-maintained path, typically involving some short ladder sections, fixed cables for security, and natural rock formations. The climb offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes of Lower Austria. Due to its popularity, the route can be crowded, especially during weekends and holidays. However, its accessibility and ease make it a perfect introduction to via ferrata climbing. Remember to wear appropriate gear: helmet, harness, and via ferrata set, and always check weather conditions before heading out.
