Tour description
Karl via ferrata (D)
This via ferrata is one of the 4 practice via ferratas, which are rather short, with difficulty level C/D, well suited for advanced climbers. The via ferrata "Karl" is named after Karl Matuschik, who was a founding member of the Gröbming Mountain Rescue Service as well as the head of it for many years.
Julius via ferrata (E)
The most demanding via ferrata of the short practice via ferratas pushes even advanced climbers to their limits; strength and endurance are required here. The via ferrata "Julius" is named after Julius Steiner. He created the Stoderzinken in its current form: road, lifts and the Steinerhaus were built between 1958 and 1968. He was a mountaineer, skier and ski jumper before the war and the first head of operations of the Gröbming Mountain Rescue Service after the war.
Emil via ferrata (B/C)
This via ferrata is very suitable for beginners. It always goes moderately steeply uphill and is ideal for getting to know. The via ferrata "Emil" is named after Emil Ritter von Horstig. He was the first pioneer on the Stoderzinken, who also built the Friedenskircherl and initiated the first wave of development on the Stoderzinken with coal mining around 1890.
David via ferrata (A/B)
With difficulty level A/B, the David via ferrata is well suited for children and gives them an unforgettable first experience on the rock. The via ferrata "David" is named after David Zefferer. He was the last miner in the coal mining on the Stoderzinken under Baron Emil von Horstig.
