Nice to see a report on this hike. I tried to do this myself in September after spending a few days at Oktoberfest. But I was ill prepared and had to turn back after crossing the "Brett" since I wouldn't have made it to the top in time for the last tram down. Definitely great motivation to try it again.
What a bummer! But thank you very much.
It´s such a nice trip. I really enjoy it each time. It´s a perfect route. Forest, creek, via ferrata, rubble, glacier and 2200 m elevation gain.
Good luck for the next time. Feel free to vote.

especially when mentally quite close to the terrain. In fact I just returned from Zugspitze yesterday, after ascending from Ehrwald via the Gatterl. I spent half a day on the top, watched a lot of people coming up or going down your route and admired the stunning cloud formations developing and changing all the day. The Hoellental ascent and the one via the Wiener-Neustaedter Huette are the only ones I do not yet know, but I hope this will change this year - only that I would not do a 2200m ascent to me, therefore I would do it when the Hoellentalangerhuette is still open!
Some of the pics would deserve being posted with a higher resolution, I think.
Sebastian, how did you do the arrangement of a centered text column and a pics column on each side?

Re: just what is...An iron route is a "via ferrata", a route wich is secured with a cable. Look at the picture "Brett" or this:
The history behind it was touristical, to lead safly tourists to the summit. Cheers Sebastian
