Climbing the Klettersteig Hotrocks in Bad Gams is a thrilling and challenging experience, graded C/D. This via ferrata is renowned for its demanding, often vertical sections that require excellent physical condition and a strong head for heights. You'll navigate exposed rock faces, relying on meticulously placed steel cables, iron rungs, and short ladders. The name 'Hotrocks' isn't just a catchy title; parts of the route can be quite exposed to the sun, making hydration and sun protection important. The reward for your effort is truly breathtaking: sweeping panoramic views over the picturesque Styrian landscape, particularly the rolling hills and vineyards around Bad Gams. It's definitely not for beginners and requires previous via ferrata experience as well as proper equipment (helmet, harness, via ferrata set). An unforgettable adventure for experienced climbers seeking an adrenaline rush amidst stunning natural beauty.
