Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The descent is more dangerous and tiring than the ascent. A head for heights is absolutely necessary here. Drinking enough water to avoid dehydration is a must.

Today we went to the Drachenwand via ferrata with the group 🧗‍♂️.
At first we thought it would take a while, given the queues at the ladder right at the beginning.
But after that, we were able to climb quickly (with lots of photo stops).

Perfect Whit Monday👌🏻Started straight away in the morning towards Mondsee...and despite the early start, the parking lot was already full 😬
Uphill, the line of people "dissolved" quite well👍🏻
A really fantastic climb👌🏻👌🏻

...the only less "nice" thing is the descent...not that the descent isn't nice...quite the opposite, the descent is also super nice...just damn exhausting after the ascent😉

Sometimes it's worth getting up very early, and today was one of those days. Simply indescribably beautiful to experience a beautiful sunrise on the mountain. And also met 2 nice people who also "tick" like that.
At 7:50, the jump into the warm Mondsee was the perfect reward.. Back home at 9:30.

it took us 4 hours in total. 30 min ascent, 2 hours via ferrata and 1.5 hours descent, which is also tough.

the via ferrata was already very crowded at 7:30 a.m. and there were many waiting times...

Departure 5.45 in the morning ... Via ferrata start 8.00 ... at the summit 10.00 ... The Drachenwand has fulfilled my dream for a long time ... unfortunately we did not have a view from the summit of the Mondsee ... Fog Fog Fog ... nothing nevertheless a via ferrata highlight with exciting & magical moments ... the way down …

Once again made the Drachenwand via ferrata in great weather. Incredibly beautiful views of Mondsee and Attersee. View from above to the Dachstein. 🧗🏻‍♂️🥾👍
