This extremely difficult via ferrata to the Bernadeinkopf 2,143 m is only suitable for experienced and very well-trained via ferrata climbers and requires a helmet, climbing harness and via ferrata set. The Mauerläufersteig is often rated D/E and is considered one of the most difficult via ferratas in Germany. The route leads over a 300-metre-long, steep to overhanging north face, which requires considerable arm strength and stamina. The extreme exposure and persistent level of difficulty offer a breathtaking but precarious alpine challenge, complemented by the final thrill of a rope bridge at the summit.
