ClimbPath
This is the most difficult of the three via ferratas on Kő-hegy. Rated "E" in difficulty, it is recommended exclusively for very strong and experienced via ferrata climbers. Anyone who finds the first few meters extremely challenging should definitely turn back! The route was dedicated to the memory of Kata Tolnay, who lost her life—along with three companions—in a landslide in the Himalayas in 2009. Difficulty rating: E. Length: 140 m. Vertical gain: 85 m.
Rental is available, which is inside the visitor complex. Parking is right next to the visitor complex.
The official difficulty rating of this route is E. This is an extremely demanding sporting route intended only for experienced experts.
Not recommended. The difficulty E (rated by the community as E) requires previous experience, strength and confidence on rock. A beginner could struggle and potentially block themselves or other climbers.
This is a shorter trip. The climb takes approximately 60 min, the approach 15 min and the descent 5 min. The whole activity takes a little over 80 minutes. Ideal for a sporty morning or afternoon.
The secured section (steel cable) measures 140 meters. During the climb, you will overcome an elevation gain of 85 meters.
The route is technically and physically very demanding (difficulty E), but relatively short. It requires explosive strength and a strong grip, while overall endurance is less important.
The essentials are a certified via ferrata set (energy absorber), climbing helmet, climbing harness and sturdy footwear. Via ferrata gloves are also strongly recommended. Due to the extreme difficulty (E), we strongly recommend using a full-body harness (or a combination of sit harness and chest harness) and additional rope protection in critical sections.
