The Echernwand Klettersteig, graded D, stands as a formidable and exhilarating via ferrata near Bad Goisern in the Dachstein region. This challenging route is characterized by its significant exposure, steep ascents, and occasional demanding sections that require good physical fitness and a strong head for heights. Climbers navigate the impressive rock face using fixed steel cables, iron rungs, and ladders, often facing vertical or even slightly overhanging passages. While the climb demands concentration and strength, the immense reward is the breathtaking panoramic views of the Hallstätter See and the surrounding alpine landscape. It's an unforgettable adventure for experienced Klettersteig enthusiasts seeking a true alpine thrill.
