Höhenglücksteig, Via ferrata in Hirschbach, Germany.
The Höhenglücksteig climbing route spans 3.4 kilometers through rocky terrain and features steel cables, ladders, and fixed anchors along limestone cliffs.
The climbing route, established in 1932, evolved into a notable mountain path that meets advanced mountaineering requirements in the German mid-mountains.
Local climbing groups maintain the route's infrastructure and organize guided tours for newcomers to learn German alpine climbing traditions.
Climbers need via ferrata equipment, including harness, helmet, and gloves, while access starts from the parking area at the entrance of Hirschbach.
The route divides into three distinct sections with different difficulty grades, including the challenging Königsetappe with its exposed vertical passages.
