The Friedburg climbing route is a well-designed via ferrata above the entrance to the Obersulzbach Valley. The approximately 300
rope meters long climbing route is about a 20-minute walk from the parking lot. It crosses a limestone rock wall that becomes steeper as you ascend and culminates in a long, airy corner ladder called "Groß-Venediger-
Ladder" to the Geiger-Platzl-Bench, from where the last very steep C/D meters can be climbed directly to the ruin. The
via ferrata can be easily combined with the Blausee family climbing route, providing half a day of action at the edge of the Hohe Tauern
National Park.

Detailed route description:
See topo. Short sections C, mostly B; at the end briefly steep C/D (the C/D section can be bypassed using the emergency exit).
Maintainer:
Tauernguide
Equipment:
Complete via ferrata gear and helmet.
Note on safety features:
Very well equipped with steel cables and footholds. There are two emergency exits.
Notes on difficulty:
Sections C, above C/D (the C/D passage can be bypassed by using the last emergency exit - see topo).
Approach to the wall:
From P2 (the upper parking lot immediately after entering the parking system), take a few steps downhill and cross the bridge to the mill/bow course. There, the hiking trail begins, which leads toward the Friedburg ruin. In the area of the rocks, a path diverges directly to the entrance.
Descent:
At the top near the Friedburg castle ruin, return along the marked hiking trail to the starting point.
Notes:
The via ferrata is not recommended in wet conditions.
You can easily combine the Friedburg climbing route with the Blausee family climbing route (B).
