Rated as a 'C' on the difficulty scale, the route features exciting traverses, steeper ascents aided by steel cables and iron rungs (Eisenweg literally means 'iron path'), and occasional vertical steps that demand a good degree of arm strength and sure-footedness. Throughout the climb, you're treated to spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountainous landscape, which truly enhance the sense of adventure.
Upon successfully completing the climbing portion, the return journey typically involves a well-marked hiking trail.
