The Preinerwandsteig (grade A/B) is a delightful and accessible via ferrata (Klettersteig) located in the beautiful Rax Alps of Austria. Graded as easy to moderately easy, it's an ideal choice for beginners, families, or those seeking a scenic mountain experience without extreme technical challenges. The ascent involves well-secured sections, mostly on rocky terrain, interspersed with pleasant hiking paths. Climbers can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, especially of the vast Rax plateau and the surrounding mountain landscape. It often serves as a popular and enjoyable approach to the Karl-Ludwig-Haus, a well-known mountain hut. The return typically involves hiking down well-marked and scenic trails from the plateau, offering a varied and equally rewarding descent.
