Intersport Klettersteig C/D

The starting point is the parking lot at the lower station of the cable car Talstation Gosaukammbahn, near the lake Vorderer Gosausee. We ascend through forest terrain along the route Herrenweg about 3 km to the hut Gablonzer Hütte. Here it is possible to refresh, refill water, use toilets. We continue further up the meadow along the route A33 Salzalpensteig to a junction where there is an information board and signpost to the via ferrata. We reach the rock wall and continue on the via ferrata. We traverse continually upwards; the first technical sections C/D follow shortly. Then we have to climb two steel ladders, behind which is a longer walking section A/B that leads us to a 40-meter rope ladder, behind which comes another technical section in the form of climbing exposed sections C/D. The final ascent gradually decreases in difficulty from C to A/B. We reach the summit cross by walking terrain. With good visibility, we can admire the panorama of Dachstein, views of the lake Vorderer Gosausee. We descend via route 628, which leads us on a path along the southern slope. This is a classic descent route; sometimes we help ourselves with hands, sometimes it is necessary to make a longer step or sit and jump down. We return by this route to the information board where we turned off to the via ferrata and then go back the same way to the hut Gablonzer Hütte and the same forest path back to the parking lot.
