The "Kurt und Georg Löwinger Steig" is a classic via ferrata, known for its challenging sections and stunning views. Rated C/D, it demands a good level of fitness, experience, and confidence on exposed rock. The initial part often involves a steep, sometimes slightly overhanging wall that immediately tests your strength and technique. You'll encounter traverses across smooth rock faces, vertical sections requiring good footwork, and occasional short, airy bridges. The rock quality is generally good, but always check your holds. The highlight for many is the panoramic vista from the top, offering a well-deserved reward for the effort. It's crucial to have the right equipment: a properly fitted harness, via ferrata set with energy absorber, helmet, and sturdy shoes. Remember to check the weather conditions before starting, as rain or snow can make the route significantly more dangerous. The "Kurt und Georg Löwinger Steig" provides a thrilling and rewarding experience for experienced via ferrata climbers.
