Directions

Next to the Saarbrücker Hut (2,538 m) rises the rock formation of Kleinlitzner. This mountain offers an ideal base for all via ferrata climbers and alpine climbers. The start of the via ferrata begins about 350 m away from the hut and is easily reachable.

The descent is on the same path. That is, you have to climb down the via ferrata again to return to the Saarbrücker Hut.

Equipment

Complete climbing equipment (harness including via ferrata set, helmet, and gloves) as well as proper footwear (sturdy ankle-high mountain boots with a good tread) are absolutely necessary.

You should also always carry a backpack with provisions, sun and rain protection, and a first aid kit.

Tips

To shorten the approach to the Saarbrücker Hut, a ride with the (e-)mountain bike is recommended.
