The first via ferrata of this kind in the Westerwald was built on the "Hölderstein" in the Grenzbach valley near the Döttesfeld district of the same name.
The first via ferrata of its kind in the Westerwald was built on the Hölderstein, a foothill of the Middle Rhine Slate Mountains. Use is at your own risk. An approx. 300 metre long route was built, on which you have to overcome a height difference of approx. 80 metres using cramps, stirrups, pins, three ladders and a bridge. The trail can be reached from the hikers' car park near Breitscheid via the yellow-marked access path of the Westerwaldsteig. We hereby expressly point out the necessary equipment.
