Climbing 'Horní vyhlídka' (Upper Viewpoint), graded D, presents a formidable challenge for any climber. Typically a demanding via ferrata, this route promises an intense, yet incredibly rewarding experience.

The ascent itself is a true test of strength and nerve. Grade D signifies steep, often exposed sections requiring significant arm strength and a good head for heights. Climbers navigate challenging rock faces using fixed steel ropes, iron rungs, and ladders. These sections can be long and sustained, offering little respite, making a proper via ferrata set and helmet absolutely essential for safety.

Upon reaching the summit, the effort is instantly justified by breathtaking panoramic views. 'Horní vyhlídka' truly lives up to its name, offering expansive vistas of the surrounding landscape – a truly magnificent reward after the strenuous climb.

The return journey typically follows a well-marked, less technical path, allowing climbers to reflect on their achievement and enjoy the scenery from a different perspective as they descend back to the starting point. This climb is highly recommended for experienced ferrata enthusiasts seeking a significant challenge and unparalleled views.
