The 'Übungsklettersteig Rading (Roßleiten)', graded 'B', offers an ideal introduction to the world of via ferratas or a pleasant, less demanding climbing experience. As an 'Übungsklettersteig' (practice via ferrata), it's specifically designed to be accessible and confidence-building, making it perfect for beginners, families with children, or those looking to refine their technique in a secure environment.
Climbing this route involves navigating mostly gentle to moderately steep rock sections, well-equipped with steel cables for continuous security, and featuring some ladders and pegs for assistance. The 'B' grading signifies that while there might be occasional short, slightly exposed passages, the overall difficulty remains low, focusing on enjoyable movement rather than strenuous athleticism. It's an excellent opportunity to get a feel for the equipment, practice clipping in and out, and become comfortable with vertical movement in a safe setting.
Beyond the technical practice, ascending the Roßleiten Klettersteig rewards climbers with enjoyable views of the surrounding landscape. It's a fantastic stepping stone, allowing participants to build fundamental skills and confidence before considering more challenging routes, all while enjoying a delightful day out in nature.
