Climbing the "Kronprinz Rudolf Klettersteig" (Grade B) offers an accessible yet exhilarating experience in the world of via ferratas. Classified as a B, it strikes a perfect balance, making it suitable for motivated beginners with a good level of fitness and a head for heights, while still offering enough challenge to be engaging for more experienced climbers.
