Admire the magnificent Königssee while enjoying the adventure of the Grünstein via ferrata in Bavaria!

Renowned for the magnificent views from its summit at an altitude of around 1,304 metres, the Grünstein via ferrata is a must if you are passing by the Königssee Lake in Bavaria. Suitable for beginners and more experienced climbers alike, the different routes range from level A (easy, K1) to level E (difficult, K5), but you still need to be in good physical condition. It takes around 3 hours to complete the adventure, not including the 40-minute approach walk and the 1-hour walk back to the meeting point. The Grünstein via ferrata is an incredible experience combining hiking and climbing, ideal for adventurers!

This activity, which departs from the banks of the Königssee, takes place alongside a professional guide who will ensure your safety throughout the via ferrata and help you with any obstacles you encounter along the way. You will be equipped with all the gear you need (helmet, harness, karabiners and gloves), so you can make the most of the experience in complete safety! Once you are on your way up the Grünstein via ferrata, you will be treated to exceptional panoramic views not only of the Königssee but also of the surrounding mountains, including Watzmann, Germany's 3rd highest peak. Prepare to have your eyes filled with adventure!

Accessible from the age of 12, the Grünstein via ferrata is perfect for families, couples or groups of friends looking for an outdoor sporting experience in Bavaria, less than a 40-minute drive from Salzburg.
