Climbing the 'Furlanova pot' on Gradiška Tura is a classic via ferrata experience in the Julian Alps, graded B/C. This means it offers a moderately challenging ascent, perfect for those with some prior experience on secured routes or fit beginners looking for an exciting introduction to alpine climbing. The route is well-equipped with steel cables, iron pegs, and occasionally ladders, providing secure handholds and footholds through its exposed sections. Climbers can expect breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and the stunning Soča Valley below. While not overly technical, a good head for heights and a reasonable level of physical fitness are essential. The ascent is steady and continuously rewarding, leading to a beautiful summit. The return journey typically follows a marked hiking trail, often a different, less exposed path, leading back to the starting point or a nearby mountain hut. It's a truly memorable adventure, combining the thrill of a via ferrata with the serene beauty of the alpine environment. Essential gear includes a via ferrata set (harness, lanyards, carabiners), a helmet, and sturdy hiking boots.
