About this route

Postalm Klettersteig D is a via ferrata in Austria, in the Postalm area of the Salzkammergut. As the name and the grade D suggest, it is a difficult line aimed at climbers who are already comfortable on steep, strenuous via ferrata terrain. Detailed figures for length, time and approach are not documented here, so consult a current topo before setting out. Bring a full set, helmet and harness, and check conditions and access on the day.
