Book accommodation Talbach via ferrata
A beautifully planned via ferrata – right next to the Talbach waterfall! The via ferrata is set up so you can climb slowly. The easy entrance area is ideal for beginners and children. In the lower section, the training course, the difficulty increases slowly from A to D/E – perfect to test your limits. After each increase in difficulty there is an emergency exit to the hiking trail. The main section appeals to advanced via ferrata climbers. Highlights are certainly the two very long rope bridges, the last one ending directly above the water reservoir’s drain – in spring or when there’s lots of rain there is a thundering waterfall here. The via ferrata is very well secured with clamps and steel rope.
