Rolfisteig

Climbing the Rolfisteig (Grade 2) in the Vienna Woods is a wonderful way to experience a taste of rock climbing in a beautiful natural setting. This via ferrata, more accurately a fixed rope route, offers a fun and accessible challenge, especially for beginners or those looking for a relaxed outdoor activity. The route meanders through a scenic section of the forest, with the rock often providing interesting features and textures.

The grade 2 rating indicates that the climbing is relatively easy. There are fixed ropes in place to aid your ascent, mostly over short, exposed sections. While no previous climbing experience is strictly necessary, a good head for heights and a reasonable level of fitness are beneficial. The route isn't particularly long, making it perfect for a morning or afternoon outing.

The beauty of the Vienna Woods itself adds to the experience. The dense foliage provides shade and a sense of immersion in nature. You might hear birdsong or catch glimpses of wildlife as you climb. After completing the Rolfisteig, you can continue exploring the surrounding trails, making it a fulfilling day trip. Remember to wear appropriate footwear, bring water, and check the weather conditions before heading out. Enjoy the climb!
