Via ferrata "Tegelbergsteig"

From the Tegelbergbahn valley station, head towards the Gelbe-Wand via ferrata, from which the Tegelbergsteig branches off. The distinctive rock pinnacle of the Gelbewandschrofen is climbed over vertical rock walls, slabs, corners, and rock bands.

The start of the Tegelbergsteig lies directly on the Gelbe-Wand via ferrata and begins with an approximately 15-meter-long ladder (B). Then keep left (B/C) and it goes steeply upwards immediately. After this passage, a small bench awaits you for your first rest break. Now diagonally left (C) to a somewhat easier traverse (A/B) and up to checkpoint 23, which is located on a grassy ridge. From here, you complete three climbing sections (B/C) up to point 24. Straight up again (C) and you reach another traverse (B/C), which leads to a ramp (B). After a slight descent, you reach the next bench where you can sign the summit register.

After a short break comes an exhausting traverse (B/C), which ends amidst mountain pine. Over a wooden bridge to checkpoint 26, then steeply up again (B/C) and above the crevice to the rock window. On the last few meters of the route, the highest point is soon reached. Time to enjoy the magnificent view in peace once more! Secured (B), you descend and reach the Gelbe-Wand via ferrata again. After about 60 meters, this turns into a hiking trail that takes about half an hour to lead you back to the Tegelbergbahn mountain station.
