Directions

Access
The approach is from the center of Brand, past the climbing park Brandnertal (forest rope park) and via the hiking trail Kellenegg to the entrance.

Route description
The via ferrata starts with a short steep step (B), continues over a ledge (B/C) to a ramp (B). From here the route leads over a steep slab (B/C) until you come to the first C-pitch. This short overhang (C) must be overcome before the route continues over a ramp (B) to the next steep step (B/C) and subsequently to the last slightly overhanging section. The last meters run through wooded areas (A/B and A).

Descent
From the end of the climb, follow the path briefly uphill and then via the Kellenegg hiking trail back to the center of Brand.
