This is a long and beautiful, yet not too difficult, fixed rope route to the Mahdlgupf directly at Lake Attersee. The via ferrata leads to the **1261m** high Mahdlgupf in Steinbach am Attersee. It requires stamina and fitness, the **difficulty level is D/E**. This via ferrata is suitable for **experienced climbers**. There are almost **1,200 metres of rope** to climb. The reward is a magnificent view of the surrounding panorama with a view of Lake Attersee below in the beautiful Salzkammergut region. [**Get inspired now and try out the 360° perspectives tour!"**]() The start of the via ferrata can be reached via the village of Weißenbach - where there is also excellent accommodation and other wonderful leisure activities on offer. Access time approx. 30 minutes: Via the Nikoloweg from Weißenbach to the Jaga-Wolferl-Graben. Turn right up to the start of the via ferrata. In summer 2020, a new access point was created around 30 metres north-east of the old access point. This is marked with blue markings. In addition, a rope was also installed, which makes it possible to turn back without hindering other climbers. After approx. 80m rope length, the new entrance joins the existing via ferrata. **Challenging via ferrata! Very good knowledge, physical fitness and stamina are required!** **The via ferrata has a rope length of 1200 m and a height difference of 600 m.** **Not recommended for beginners, those in poor physical condition and children!** **All via ferrata equipment and a helmet are a basic requirement.** Up-to-date information can be found on the official website: [www.klettern-attersee.at](https://www.klettern-attersee.at/) [Further information on the Attersee Mahdlgupf via ferrata at www.bergsteigen.com](https://www.bergsteigen.com/touren/klettersteig/attersee-klettersteig/) [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4853 Steinbach am Attersee **Destination:** 4853 Steinbach am Attersee **duration:** 4h 55m **length:** 6,0 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 916m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 926m **Lowest point:** 469m **Highest point:** 1.197m **difficulty:** difficult **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Climbing mount, Gravel, unfixed **Details - climbing mount**- difficulty acc. to Kurt Schall: extremely difficult (E) - duration climbing mount: 3 h - duration Descent: 1 h [ ![Altitude profile Attersee fixed rope route Mahdlgupf](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001913&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Attersee fixed rope route Mahdlgupf](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001913&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Attersee fixed rope route Mahdlgupf") [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ Closed from 1st of November to the end of march!
