Burgen Via Ferrata — Stage 1: Lieser

Great stage of the Burgen Klettersteig, which mostly goes directly over the Lieser.
Please note that there is no emergency exit here! But there are a few walking sections to relax on ;)

Manderscheid Castle via ferrata – Stage 2 start (Oberburg)

Highlight • Climb

The shortest and actually easiest stage (possibly also good for "practice" before you tackle stage 1 (long stage + C/D points) and stage 3 (strenuous, as there are many crossings and C/D + D points) - have fun !

Oberburg Section – Castles Via Ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Beautiful and relatively vertical wall which, due to its shortness, is also suitable for people with less stamina but can also be easily bypassed.

June 23, 2023,🖤 Manderscheid: Liesersteig und Oberburgensteig

The 1st stage of the Manderscheider Burgen-Klettersteig leads along the river. A nice, varied crossing of boulders with slight ups and downs. Very well suited to get a feel for it and warm up.

Stage 2 actually consists almost entirely of normal hiking. The highlight of stage 2 is a short, steep climb to the Oberburg. This part can even …

The castle via ferrata is also accessible in wet conditions. Today my daughter brought a friend along, and she was also thrilled.

Today I took advantage of the nice weather again and spontaneously went climbing with friends.
Apparently, everyone had this idea, because there was quite a lot of traffic on the trail, including people who simply underestimated the traffic and then realized they didn't have the strength to pull themselves up on the rope and "refused" when their minds were shutting …

I did parts 1 and 2 in the afternoon. I had to abandon it due to heavy rain.
In the evening, it became dry and sunny...so I went back just before sunset. Parts 1 and 2 up to the tournament field were still doable at dusk. The third part, with the difficult sections, was only possible with a headlamp. It's …

Completed all 3 stages of the beautiful castle climbing route! Sometimes there were long waiting times at the various elements. Nice rest areas at the upper and lower castle. Non-climbers can take a hiking trail which is also very beautiful. Unfortunately, komoot stopped working for me at one point :(
