Góry Świętokrzyskie · Kielce, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship
The first via ferrata in Poland, set in the wall of a former quarry in the Kadzielnia reserve in the middle of Kielce. The route combines rungs, a rope bridge and a zip line; the climbing itself is about 100 of the 260 metres, the rest being traverses and the approach. At the most exposed points you are 30–40 m above the quarry floor, but the belay is continuous and the A/B grade is the easiest step of a scale that ends at E.
