Via ferratas in Škocjan (Kanzianiberg, 795m)

On Sunday, 27.10.2013, after conquering Ostra peč/Mallestiger Mittagskogel (via Wasserfall Klettersteig), we went to Škocjan, where we climbed some short via ferratas.

The via ferratas in Škocjan are exceptionally well executed and interesting. They are designed so that you can exit multiple times if it seems too difficult. They also split into multiple directions at places, so you can choose among them where to continue. We tried all of them velik nasmeh

What I really like about these via ferratas is that there's a bit of everything, including walking over a bridge, ladders, walking on steel cables over the abyss ... something for everyone mežikanje

I recommend them to all who are not used to walking on climbing paths but want to try. They are excellent for learning to walk on secured climbing paths mežikanje

Where is this Škocjan?

toplar29. 10. 2013 12:15:27

Below Beljak.

If you go over Korensko sedlo before Beljak on the right, past Brnica to Finkenstein. Over Ljubelj then at the roundabout just before Drava towards Bistrica (Feistritz) and up the Rosental valley.
In the middle of the village Finkenstein (Bekštajn) there are signs directing you to the parking. The guidebook could sometimes be bought in the village, otherwise you can order it online.

Regards, d nasmeh

Thanks, but is the return the same way back?

slavi090229. 10. 2013 16:39:50

You can do a loop, we always do it, over Korensko sedlo there and Ljubelj back.

Today first time in Škocjan. I've traversed most ferratas in the near and far surroundings but this one somehow escaped under the radar zmeden

. So it was a surprise about the environment where they run and how they are routed so much bigger. Pure ten for artistic impression velik nasmeh

. They transition from one to another, branch off, are completely independent, you go up one, down the other.

Most ferratas are category B and C, some especially the eastern ones flirt with D difficulty. That means slightly overhanging walls and minimal holds.

Today we climbed eleven and those aren't even all. Some parts of the wall are currently closed due to bird nesting so we didn't want to disturb their family life nasmeh

.

Warmly recommend nasmeh

How many climbing routes are there approximately? Is it worth going there for several days?

Thanks!

Yulius Kugy7. 04. 2014 20:12:59

climbing center 30 ferratas max B and C difficulty

matej12320. 02. 2017 08:28:42

Could someone please give me the link to the site where the guidebook can be bought. Lp

Visited again these really interesting rocks near Škocjan nasmeh

. For me new is the zip line cable stretched between two adjacent rock masses with lots of air underfoot. Without a via ferrata set or at least HSM clip it will be hard to cross velik nasmeh

.

The whole area besides the crags is also an excellent choice for not particularly demanding ferratists. All ferratas (B/C) worth the summit visit require a few pleasant hours of traversing. Definitely recommend nasmeh

Škocjan climbing area, plenty for via ferrata climbers too

For me the nicest intro starts right at the edge of the parking lot, far left of the hut

The vias are well protected everywhere, holds and steps are at all important spots

Random neighbor :) Of course he's a climber and took a completely different path from ours

Part of the path where it's not immediately clear where to go next. Some brackets go vertically, but the right cable leads into the darkness

This is the way, wouldn't praise the space between the walls

Immediately after exiting the first hole, we already crawl into the second

Not really difficult, but not entirely easy either :)

Emerging from the depths like two cavers

Weather on the peaks wasn't the best, but excellent here

Can't see it here, but there's a huge drop underfoot

This via ferrata leads into the heart of the rocks through the narrowest gorges.

Climbers climb in these rocks. The highest grade of the route I've seen is *6*

In Škocjan it's not easy to find all the via ferratas, especially if it's your first time

Here and there some via ferrata reaches a good *C* difficulty, nothing harder

Here the path is quite slippery due to unusually wet rock

Church of Saint Kancijan near the summit

Our random neighbor from the beginning is already climbing in another wall

I used the bad weather to visit Kanzianiberg and must say after a few (four) hours of ferrata I was grinning. Really great.

Recommend (but not when wet!):

On the second day due to bad weather forecast we climbed in Kanzianiberg. The ferratas are very diverse and all in pleasant shade in the morning. The climbing routes were much more crowded than the ferratas. Maybe the descent back to the parking lot could be better marked; we saw a German family with small children who by mistake used the C ferrata for descent and had big trouble with it.

Wooden walkway at the start of one of the via ferratas

Section closest to the summit of Kanzianiberg

Some views of the surroundings of Beljak

Enjoyment in the midst of the vertical wall

We climb also between the two small towers

For the end we ascend the shorter C/D via ferrata

The natural adrenaline park KANZIANIBERG or Škocjan has numerous well-equipped sports ferratas and equipped sports routes attract adrenaline lovers from near and far. And it is really worth visiting, suitable for BEGINNERS as well as FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, and also more experienced ferratists.
