Climbing the "Zobor - Dubova" via ferrata (grade B/C) is a rewarding experience in Slovakia. The route, located near Nitra, offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. While not overly demanding, the B/C grading means it's important to have some prior via ferrata experience and a decent level of fitness. Expect sections with moderate exposure, some steeper climbs, and potentially some short, traversing sections. The rock is generally solid, but as always, it's crucial to pay attention to your footing and clipping technique. The views from the top make the effort worthwhile, and the sense of accomplishment is palpable after completing the route. Remember to bring all the necessary safety gear: helmet, harness, via ferrata set, and gloves. Always check the weather conditions before heading out, as rain can make the route treacherous.
