Short steep climb at the start (B/C), then traverse a rock ramp (B) to an exposed corner (B). Zigzag (A/B) to a rock face, which is overcome using pins (C).
Now easier in karst terrain (A) to an airy traverse with pins (B/C), then in rugged terrain to a vertical, slightly overhanging steep wall secured with pins (C/D).
This is followed by an exposed traverse diagonally upwards (C) to easier karst terrain (B). One last, very short steep step remains to be overcome (C) before the trail gently ends at the summit of the Kleiner Krippenstein (first B, then A).
The Via Ferrata Kuckucksnest combined with the Outlaw via ferrata is a fantastic climbing experience.
Tip: Climb the Outlaw via ferrata (Niederen Krippenstein) first, then tackle the Kuckucksnest via ferrata on your ascent to the Hoher Krippenstein (mountain station).
No problem – you can hire all the climbing equipment you need from the following shops nearby:
Please don't forget!Reserve your climbing equipment in advance at the shop and pick it up directly at the shop before visiting the mountain (via ferrata).
