The via ferrata "Wildkar" was built by none less then Toni Rosifka, the owner of the Simony hut. The route itself proceeds directly over the pillar of the "vordere Niederes Kreuz" and is a wonderful finish of all the via ferratas surrounding the Simony hut.

Alpine via ferrata at the Dachstein

After a quite easy start through a flat ditch (B) the route rapidly gets more difficult (C). Climbers get a short break (A/B), then the crux, a steep ascent with very little footholds (C/D then D). Further on an easier area gives climbers time to rest before starting in the Overhang (C/D). After that, the climb leads onto the pillar, with lots of artificial footholds (C/D). Further on the areal gets flatter and easier (C, then B and A/B). One last difficult part (D) before the climb ends in an easy finish.
