Via Ferrata Vír — via ferrata in Vír

Wyżyna Czesko-Morawska · Vír, Vysočina Region

Two short ferratas right by the Vír I dam in the Svratka valley, both graded B/C: Jezerní stěna (45 m) starts with a prominent ladder in the north-west face, one minute from the car park, and Velká věž (60 m) lies five minutes further on. Together that is under a hundred metres of climbing — both fit into a single morning, and the reward is the view of the dam crest and the valley. A good place for a first unguided crossing if you started out in a park with an instructor.
