Arrival

Park in Csesznek village.

Approach

Five minutes into the gorge.

The route

Four named cruxes in 60 m — the Arm Overhang, the Bridge of Sighs, the Simple Move (which is not) and the Throne — then 160 m on to the Várpanoráma finish. The builders call it utopian; treat it as a climbing route with a cable, not a via ferrata with hard bits.

Exit

Via the Várpanoráma finish, down through the gorge.

Good to know

Climbing shoes change everything here. Dry rock only.

warningSelf-guided route — climb at your own risk

This route is free and unsupervised. Apprenaline does not operate it, does not check it and cannot guarantee its condition. Via ferrata carries a real risk of serious injury or death: you need a UIAA-certified via ferrata set, a harness, a helmet and the experience to use them, and you should check the route builders' site for closures (routes in protected areas close for nesting seasons) and the weather before you go — wet rock and storms end a day out here. Guided, gear and photo options on this page are provided by independent operators under the normal booking terms and waiver.
