Via Ferrata Park with 4 Practice Routes near the Explorer Hotel
The Bannholzmauer on the Wurbauerkogel – a striking rock formation northeast above Windischgarsten – offers a via ferrata facility with a total of 4 routes.
The starting point is Rosenau am Hengstpaß. From the parking lot at the Wurbauerkogel, follow hiking trail no. 8 for about 15 minutes. It leads you through the forest and over several small wooden bridges directly to the rock.
Here you can choose between the following difficulty levels:
- A/B (easy to moderately difficult)
- B/C (moderately difficult to difficult)
- C/D (difficult to very difficult)
- D/E (extremely difficult and only for experienced and professional climbers)
All trails intersect on the rock.
From the summit of the Bannholzmauer, you have a fantastic view of the Veichltal, Rading, and the foothills of the southern Sengsengebirge.
You can reach the summit from hiking trail no. 8 without using the via ferrata (here the trail leads you over rope railings and Steps).
Attention: Shortly before the entrance, there is another information board with all the marked tours.
