Short, but very exposed via ferrata, which is less interesting as a stand-alone undertaking due to its brevity. It is recommended to combine it with the original "Leadership via ferrata" on the Predigstuhl, which can be reached via a marked hiking trail afterwards.
From the start, traverse extremely exposed on footholds (C) under overhangs to the left. Then climb vertically to slightly overhanging up the exposed wall (C/D). Cross to the right under slight overhangs (D) and up a steep upswing (D). Through a somewhat earthy gully (C) to the exit.
From the Rathlucken Hütte via the Höhen- und Sagenweg Bad Goisern first gently ascending, then flat to the Ewige Wand. Follow the impressive path carved into the rocks through a tunnel to the start (height at start: 780 m). The via ferrata starts just before the second tunnel at a small bench and a yellow sign.
Keep left at the exit and return to the start via the hiking trail through the Ewige Wand in a short time. Or continue along a marked hiking trail to Leadership via ferrata to the Predigstuhl.

Klettersteig is very exposed and can be tackled with the help of stepping sticks. Fear of heights and surefootedness are required.
In emergencies, call the mountain rescue service on 140!
