The property of sandstone is that when it is wet or damp, it cracks or crumbles due to its fragility. The fixation of the belays can be damaged. For this reason, the via ferrata is closed continuously even during the summer season. Please respect this condition. Violation of the entry ban is fined by the City Police. In good weather (sun and wind) the via ferrata is usually open again from 12 to 24 hours.
This notified status is communicated by the via ferrata administrator, unless there is an unexpected change in the weather, it will be open for approximately one to two hours. That is, it is in a state before drying out.
The via ferrata is open. Climbing is allowed. Attention!!! If you are traveling from a more distant place, for example more than one hour away, check the weather forecast properly. The via ferrata traffic light is controlled directly by its administrator, but that does not mean that it cannot rain in an hour and as proper mountaineers you have to watch out for that yourself.
