Description
Directly from Hüttschlag, you hike on a hiking path to the entrance of the via ferrata Franzl. In approx. 20 minutes you reach the entrance to this via ferrata. It was built in 2012.

The Franzl via ferrata was named after Richard FRANZL, the builder of this via ferrata.

It is a very demanding, long climb where you have to be absolutely free of dizziness. First, you climb along the via ferrata Gletschergoas. After this, you should definitely take a rest on the bench - with a great view. Afterwards "Franzl" leads almost vertically over the Hüttschlager Wand. A total of 210 meters of altitude have to be overcome. Power and endurance are required.

You hike back to the valley on a beautiful hiking path.
