Exciting climbing the historical Hanza route
The Hanza route with many wedges begins to rise steeply and leads you to iron wire ropes, on which you will climb to the top. The guide will keep you safe in a short-roped party. You will also climb the protected and exposed ledges leading steeply upwards. In this section, Mojstrovka via ferrata offers authentic vertical adrenaline. When crossing vertical walls, you will learn how to use safety climbing gear. When climbing you will be accompanied by stunning views of the surrounding Julian Alps and the highest peaks of Mt. Mangart, Jalovec, Triglav and Mt. Škrlatica. An even more enchanting view will open at the very top, where you will relax, have snacks and take photos of the beautiful surroundings. Descending from the top will lead you to scree slopes where you can learn scree run techniques or you can go on a hiking trail.
