Mehr versicherter Höhenweg wie Klettersteig in toller Karwendelumgebung. Für Klettersteiganfänger geeignet, da der lange Abstieg über die Brunnsteinhütte zu bewältigen ist, sollte eine gewisse Kondition mitgebracht werden.

The Pidinger via ferrata is certainly the most strenuous and eventful way to climb Bad Reichenhall's local mountain Hochstaufen: A difficult via ferrata leads through its northern flank.
