Movement is allowed during the day one hour after sun-rise until one hour before sun-set.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n <\/span>B \u2013 medium level of difficulty<\/strong><\/p>\n It is a\u00a0steeper terrain with occasionally more difficult sections and bad steps. Artificial support in the form of steel ropes, cramps, stake poles and steeper longer ladders are used for direct forward movement. Several sections are exhausting and tiring. Many experienced alpine tourists use ferrata set with helmet from this level of difficulty. Ferrata set is required for beginners and children and additional support by rope is also important in dangerous and long sections. Without the artificial securing it would be considered as a\u00a0climbing terrain of II or III difficulty level.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span>C \u2013 difficult trails<\/strong><\/p>\n The trail consists of steep and perpendicular slopes. Most of prevalently difficult trail is fitted with artificial support (steel ropes, cramps, stake poles, possible slightly hanging ladders). Cramps and artificial steps are more apart (important information particularly for smaller ones and children). The sections are often perpendicular with only one steel rope. The secured sections require certain strength in arms. Long sections of this difficulty consist of large secured trails. Ferrata set with helmet is required also for experienced alpine tourists. Beginners and children are advised to use this trail only with additional rope support and experienced accompanying person. Without the artificial securing it would be considered as a\u00a0climbing terrain of III and IV difficulty level.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span>D \u2013 very difficult trails<\/strong><\/p>\n The trail consists of very steep rocky terrain, sometimes with perpendicular or hanging sections. Mostly very difficult and support is only provided by steel rope. Few artificial steps (cramps, stake poles) are far apart each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via ferrata consists of long, perpendicular or hanging sections, which require very strong arms, good technique and also training. The uphill trail is connected with climbing sections of lighter difficulty (level of difficulty I\u00a0or II) without support, therefore we advise you to go onto this trail only with sufficiently experienced alpine tourist or climber. Even they are required to have ferrata set (climbing shoes and helmet).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The trail is not recommended for beginners and children, additional support by experienced guide or trainer is required.<\/p>\n Without the artificial securing it would be considered as a\u00a0climbing terrain of IV and V difficulty level<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Each trail contains iron steps which are 40 cm apart. Each trail includes securing steel rope.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n Visitors of Via ferrata must have a\u00a0ferrata set which consists of a\u00a0seater, 2 carabiners, energy absorber, helmet, gloves, shoes suitable for climbing with Vibram sole.
