Climbing the Gumpoldskirchner Klettersteig (Grade B/C) offers a delightful and accessible via ferrata experience. Starting with a short, scenic approach, the route quickly leads you onto the rock face. The climb itself, rated B/C, presents a good balance of easy walking sections and slightly more challenging, but well-secured, vertical passages. You'll find plenty of fixed ropes, steel cables, and foot pegs, making it suitable for beginners yet still engaging for those with some Klettersteig experience. The exposure is generally moderate, allowing you to focus on the enjoyable movement. As you ascend, you're treated to increasingly panoramic views over the picturesque vineyards of Gumpoldskirchen and the surrounding Vienna Basin. The feeling of accomplishment at the top is wonderful, and the descent is typically via a comfortable hiking path. It's a perfect half-day adventure, combining gentle exertion with rewarding vistas.
