Klettersteig Neuerburg

The approx. 4.5 km long via ferrata (circular route) combines climbing passages on six selected rock sections that offer spectacular views of the town of Neuerburg.

The special feature of the Neuerburg via ferrata is that the passages can also be hiked around, so that the concept appeals to both classic hikers and climbing enthusiasts who can travel the route together. It is therefore also suitable for families with children.

The start and finish point of the via ferrata is the redesigned market square. Climbing sections include the large Neuerburg town coat of arms, the Enz waterfalls with the historic mills and, of course, Neuerburg Castle.

The Neuerburg via ferrata consists of 6 climbing sections, which are connected by hiking trails. Depending on your experience and fitness level, you will need around 3-4 hours to complete the entire route.

Difficulty level:
The via ferrata has six different passages with varying degrees of difficulty between A/B and D/E, in some passages there are easier and more difficult variants (see topo under downloads).
Overall, the via ferrata is also suitable for beginners who meet the physical requirements - good fitness, a head for heights, sure-footedness, minimum height of 1.40m.
We recommend that new climbers skip the challenging first climbing passage on the Beilsturm and continue to the end of the climbing tour.
