The 'Katzenkopf-Zimmer Steig' on the Loswand is a delightful climbing route, graded at III (UIAA scale for rock climbing difficulty). It offers an accessible yet rewarding mountain experience. The climb itself is renowned for its interesting features, including several 'chimney-like' sections and ledges, which give it its characteristic name ('Zimmer' implying a room or confined space). While graded III, it generally provides good hand and footholds, making it enjoyable for climbers with some experience or those looking to progress from scrambling. The exposure increases gradually, culminating in fantastic panoramic views from the top of the Loswand. The ascent typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. The descent is usually via a well-marked hiking trail, which is less steep and offers scenic views, leading back to the base or starting point in approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. It's a highly recommended tour for anyone comfortable with exposure and basic climbing techniques.
