Via Ferrata Burgstall
Very easily accessible and simple via ferrata in the middle of the Burgstall climbing garden.
The rockfalls of the Burgstall south face near Pürgg form a well-known and popular climbing garden. The Burgstall via ferrata was built as an access and descent route for the various climbing routes, but offers some interesting, well-secured passages. The descent from Burgstall leads to the dreamy village of Pürgg with its famous St John's Chapel, making it a beautiful circular tour with via ferrata experience.
Note:
Also suitable for children and beginners, but only with via ferrata equipment.
