The Rosslochhöhlen Klettersteig on the Seemauer, graded D/E, is a formidable challenge for even experienced via ferrata enthusiasts. Situated in a breathtaking alpine setting, often overlooking a picturesque lake, it offers spectacular panoramic views throughout the ascent. The route is characterized by its intense athleticism and exposure. You'll encounter sustained vertical and even slightly overhanging sections, demanding significant arm strength, stamina, and a solid head for heights. The 'Rosslochhöhlen' aspect refers to fascinating passages through or near impressive cave formations, adding a unique, almost subterranean dimension to the climb. Expect robust steel cables, numerous iron rungs, and possibly ladders or even a rope bridge to aid your progress. The D/E rating signifies that the route frequently pushes into extremely difficult territory, with minimal natural holds and a constant feeling of exposure. This Klettersteig requires excellent physical fitness, previous experience on difficult via ferratas, and absolute sure-footedness. Full via ferrata equipment, including a helmet, harness, and two lanyards, is mandatory. The descent typically follows a marked hiking trail, which can also be steep and demanding, rounding off a truly memorable and rewarding alpine adventure.
