- Description
-
The Jubiläum via ferrata was build in 1991 and its varied passages lead along: the ridge, very exposed spots, and easier terrain in between. Many mountaineers faced their limit on its steep cliff passage.
Comments:
A very well-designed via ferrata meeting every expectation, though not suited for inexperienced climbers or childer. Very strenous and exposed at some parts.
- Directions
-
Approach: from Gasthof Feistererhof, a well-marked and occasionally steep trail winds up to the Guttenberghaus (see King's Stage). Keep hiking in the direction of the Gruberscharte. After approx. 20 minutes, turn right (info board ‘Klettersteig’) and follow the footpath along the scree slope until you reach the entry point.
Descent: hike down the narrow, marked path at Eselstein's northern-slope until you reach the trail. Walk along Feistererscharte back to the Guttenberghaus (approx. 40 min) and take the trail you used for the ascent, back down. Or go down the Eselstein Westwand ferrata and back to the hut.
