Drachenwand - C/D

Elevation: 400m / Lenght: 560m
Approach: 25min / Duration: 2h
Rating: 5/5

The first ferrata climbed in 2024. This is a very popular ferrata, on which several Czechs were killed, unfortunately.The physical difficulty for me was not high compared to the well-known local ferrata Attersee. But you will find a few vertiginous sections which I had a bit of trouble with.

In good weather outside of morning and evening there are queues, definitely count on that. I started around half past 10 and it was no longer free climbing without waiting, but I didn't really mind, I had time to take pictures, relax and enjoy. 

I was at the top in maybe 2 and a half hour and I had a great time, I enjoyed the climbing the whole time, it wasn't strenuous, less than a litre of water was enough and the views at the top of Drachenstein (1060m) were perfect, I recommend it with all 9 out of 10.

I don't recommend ordinary hikers go to the top, the descent is in one part ferrata difficulty A and is quite difficult to climb, also a few people have been killed there, as far as I know I have seen people walking there who for me shouldn't be there at all, but it's their decision.
