The Hirschsteig Klettersteig is a fantastic introduction to via ferrata climbing, graded A/B. This means it's generally suitable for beginners with a reasonable level of fitness and a head for heights. The route offers stunning views of the surrounding Saxon Switzerland landscape. Expect well-secured steel cables and ladders that make the ascent manageable, but still provide a satisfying sense of accomplishment. There are a few short, steeper sections that require a bit more upper body strength, but nothing overly strenuous. Overall, Hirschsteig is a rewarding experience, a great option for those looking to try their first klettersteig, and perfect for a fun day out in nature.
