Exciting climbing the historical Hanza route

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 have time to have snacks and take photos of the beautiful surroundings. Descending from the top will lead you to scree slopes where you will learn scree run techniques or you will go on a hiking trail.
