Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, the Via ferrata HZS Kyseľ will offer you an unforgettable experience and the opportunity to discover the beauty of the Slovak Paradise from a completely new angle. Via ferrata is from the Italian language and means “iron road”. It is a secured climbing route that combines rock climbing with steel ropes and ladders. This form of hiking is also suitable for beginners and older children who want to experience an adrenaline rush without the need to master the technically demanding sections.
Mandatory equipment in terms of safety is the so-called ferrata set, which you can rent next to the Rumanka Restaurant, in the centre of the Podlesok area at the entrance to the Suchá Bela gorge.The ferrata is one-way upwards and is accessible from 15 June to 31 October.
