Renovated in 2009, the route has a difficulty grade of B/C and runs along the Rotschitza stream over two rope bridges. The so-called Postmans-Walks run almost six metres above the water. ## Why the via ferrata is worth it for active holidaymakers A length of 350 metres and around 120 metres of ascent sound like little, but they demand your attention the whole way. For an afternoon that is just right. From June to October there are weekly guided tours with alpine guides, including equipment and a mountaineer’s snack. ## What to expect - 350 m via ferrata, approx. 120 metres of ascent, difficulty B/C - Two rope bridges over the Rotschitza stream - Postmans-Walks with a panoramic view of the Faaker See - Guided tours with alpine guides from June to October, equipment included - Approach approx. 30 minutes from the Baumgartnerhöhe ## Our insider tip Do not set off on the route during or after heavy rain, as there is a risk of falling rocks near the start.
