We start our trip in Oberjoch which is the highest village in Germany. To get to the entry of the Salewa Klettersteig you can either use the cable car or walk. We decided to walk. When we arrived at the beginning of the via ferrata there were many people. The via ferrata is quite new and was not so difficult. Because of too many people there was a jam during the route and often we had to wait up to 10 minutes until we were able to continue.

Nevertheless we enjoyed arriving at the Iseler (1876m) and had a great view down to the Tannheimer Tal.

From the Iseler we continued to the Kühgundspitze (1907m). On this way we met only a few people - I think most of the people who did the ferrata took the cable car back down to the valley after a short break on top of the Iseler. So we enjoyed blue sky and a great view without so many people around us.

About an hour later we arrived back at Oberjoch. From there we drove to Grän which is about 10 minutes away. There we wanted to do another fixed rope route called Friedberger Klettersteig.

On the 26th of July in 2008 we meet with friends to do the Mindeheimer Klettersteig. By car we go to Mittelberg (in Austria). From there we go up to the Fiderepass Hut (2070m). There we sleep one night.

The next morning we go up to the beginning of the via ferrata. The weather could be better but we still decide to continue. We are lucky - there is no rain at all 🙂 The via ferrata is quite nice and makes lots of fun. Arriving at the Mindeheimer Hut (2013m) we take a break.

From there we follow the Krumbacher Höhenweg back to the Fiderepass Hut. After another break we go back to Mittelberg. Despite the weather wasn't that good it was still a great tour we don't wanna miss.
