TALBACH Via Ferrata

A via ferrata close to the valley with two interesting sections and fantastically exciting rope bridges, which you can reach on foot from our building. There are ample steel brackets and several exit points on this magnificent route next to the waterfall.

You can start via the rope bridge behind the archery ground, next to the 'Jausenstüberl' restaurant; or follow the signs for the 'Klettersteig-Rundwanderweg', turning somewhat down stream over the bridge and climbing on a path to the entry point: in each case, only a few minutes.
