Climbing the Teufelsteig (Devil's Path) on the Tieflimauer in Austria's Gesäuse National Park is a fantastic via ferrata experience graded C. The ascent begins through dense forest, quickly leading to the rock face where the true character of the 'devil's path' unfolds. This route offers a thrilling mix of exposed traverses, sturdy ladders, and well-placed steel ropes, all while providing increasingly panoramic views of the surrounding rugged peaks and the dramatic Enns valley below. While not overly technical (Grade C), the exposure requires a good head for heights and sure-footedness. The climb itself is rewarding, leading to the summit where you can enjoy breathtaking vistas. The descent typically involves a well-marked hiking trail, bringing you back down to the valley. It's a moderately challenging and highly recommended route for via ferrata enthusiasts looking for a memorable day in a stunning alpine setting.
