Description

Update information

Characteristics

It is one of eleven via ferratas in the via ferrata park above Lake Staubecken Gosauschmied. The via ferrata runs most of the way vertically on already quite polished rock and is therefore quite slippery. This makes him pull his hands in places. The pinnacle of the via ferrata is the rock swing, after which the King Swing is named. For those who can't find the courage, you can turn from the via ferrata just before the swing onto the easier Max-Klettersteig (B/C).

Arrival

From Bad Ischl towards Lake Gosausee. You can park at Disco Gosauschmied.

Onset

Follow the Georundwanderweg hiking trail along the eastern shore of the Staubecken Gosauschmied lake. Along the way, you will meet turns to individual via ferratas, you need to follow the numbers. King Swing is number 9.

Descent

Above the via ferrata on the right, descend along a pleasant path back to the lake.

Interesting facts

Swing with a run over the rock.
