The via ferrata "Gamsblick" on the Traweng is embedded between Tauplitzalm and the Tote Gebirge.

In difficulty level "C", you climb the eastern wall to the 1,981 m high summit of the Traweng. Included: great nature cinema with 360 degree panoramic views and overwhelming feelings of freedom.

On the way to the via ferrata, it is worthwhile to pay a short visit to the mountain church on the Tauplitzalm.
