🚨 IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ

If you're looking for a relaxing weekend stroll, you've opened the wrong event. 😄

DO NOT JOIN THIS TOUR UNLESS YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO ME PERSONALLY FIRST.

Participation will only be confirmed after discussing:

• Previous via ferrata experience

• Difficult routes completed

• Fitness level

• Comfort with exposure and alpine terrain

If you have only completed A/B or B/C ferratas, this route is most likely not the right next step.

This is not a route for experimentation.

One of the most spectacular and demanding via ferrata adventures in Austria, combining the legendary Tajakante ridge traverse with the steep Coburger Klettersteig above the stunning Seebensee and Drachensee.

This is a serious alpine day featuring exposed ridge climbing, difficult ferrata sections, breathtaking scenery, and a long descent through Brendlkar.
