The Felix-Kuen via ferrata, which leads over the distinctive and scenic Hundskopf, is quite exposed and relatively demanding in some short sections. Surefootedness and a head for heights are mandatory for this short via ferrata. For the other route sections during the ascent, surefootedness and a head for heights are also necessary in some places.

The Eisengattergrat to the Großer Bettelwurf is especially fun because the elevation gain is manageable. Only the descent into the Halltal is long.
