Climbing the Erlebnisklettersteig Simmswasserfall in Holzgau (Grade B/C) is a thrilling experience that combines the adrenaline of via ferrata climbing with the natural beauty of a cascading waterfall. The route weaves alongside the impressive Simmswasserfall, providing stunning views and a refreshing mist on warmer days.

The sound of the roaring waterfall adds to the dramatic atmosphere, making the ascent both challenging and rewarding.

It's crucial to check weather conditions before heading out, as wet rocks can significantly increase the difficulty. A truly unforgettable adventure for anyone seeking a scenic and exciting via ferrata experience in the Austrian Alps.
