Climbing the 'Lanová sieť' (Rope Net) section within the HZS Kyselá via ferrata in Slovak Paradise is a memorable D-grade adventure. This particular part, a long, swinging rope net traversing a steep gorge, is the highlight and often the most challenging element. It demands significant upper body strength, balance, and a steady mind due to its exposure and inherent instability. The overall route involves steep ascents on steel cables, ladder sections, and traverses, all offering breathtaking views of the pristine natural landscape below. Tackling a D-grade via ferrata like this requires prior experience, proper equipment (harness, helmet, via ferrata lanyards), and a good level of physical fitness. It's an adrenaline-pumping experience that combines thrilling exposure with the satisfaction of overcoming a demanding physical and mental challenge.
