Norissteig, Via ferrata in Hirschbach, Germany

The Norissteig trail includes caves, chimneys, and ridge sections through a forest path, reaching a maximum elevation of 540 meters at the summit point.

The German Alpine Club Section Noris established this via ferrata route in 1928, creating a circular path connecting the areas of Fischbrunn and Hirschbach.

The route stands as an example of German mountaineering infrastructure, integrating climbing elements with traditional hiking paths in the Hersbrucker Alb region.

Climbers need full safety equipment to navigate the steel-cable secured passages, with alternative bypass routes available for less experienced participants.

The trail features the Mittelbergwand section, a 40-meter high rock face with a narrow crevice that requires specific climbing techniques to overcome.
