Yesterday I climbed the Renke via ferrata with a friend: https://bojanambrozic.com/2019/08/08/ferata-renke/
Access to the via ferrata is surprisingly long, given how low the hills are in Zasavje. Otherwise, the via ferrata is very nice and definitely worth a visit. The descent is also very overgrown.

Locals have cleaned and tidied the path in this nice autumn-winter weather when there's no snow in the valleys, and now Santa Claus walks the via ferrata, maybe even Dedek Mraz too.

Maybe helpful comment on the difficulty of both Renke vias - last week I accidentally passed by and "looked" at both up close.
The first (older, easier) is equipped in "French" style i.e. with loose cables that have a loose loop at the bottom and which cushion forces in case of fall. This is certainly true for vertical sections, for more horizontal (quite common here) it's physically nonsensical and quite annoying for some. Anyway, despite brackets C/D rating is realistic - still overhanging parts that always lean to one side, so you need strong arms despite brackets.
The second (newer, much harder) has taut cables of course - without it difficulty would exceed all we're used to in this part of Europe (except Arena variant in AT). Take E rating very seriously - I even think the entry move combo is harder. Start is quite overhanging and when bracing feet on rock, legs are so high that force on arms is considerable - like every roof, so arm moves require lots of strength. Move combo here harder than right Zelenica, Gonžarica much easier. Similar hard moves on far left of last segment of newer via in Črna na Koroškem, just longer section there.
Continuation not much easier. Sections D/E, but first issue body always overhangs, second rock slippery (think dust from ground slowly trickles from above with wind or rain, despite secured ground above via).
And this - one of rare vias where resting on lanyard on intermediate pegs not easy due to geometry, if resting on pegs body usually above cable, unsafe and hard to continue. This via is serious sports challenge.
Safe steps to all.
