Via ferrata Julian Alps, Carinthia, Slovenia

<p>The Julian Alps are still a relatively unknown area for many mountaineers. Yet this mountain range - located in Friuli, Slovenia and Carinthia - is one of the most fascinating via ferrata areas in the world alongside the Dolomites. The landscapes are spectacular, the via ferratas extremely attractive. The Rother via ferrata guide "Julian Alps" presents the most beautiful and exciting routes.</p> <p>Whether via ferratas secured with elaborate ladders and steel ropes or climbs featuring iron pins and holds - this region offers every kind of rock experience. The Julian Alps themselves, with their highest mountain, the Triglav, offer opportunities for every level of difficulty. The Kamnik-Savinja Alps are a small high mountain range in the south-east of the Alps, but all the more interesting for ferratisti. The Karawanken and the Carnic main ridge on the southern border of Austria offer many interesting destinations - from easy to challenging.</p> <p>The author Alois Goller, head of via ferrata courses at the Alpine Club, has selected 80 varied routes for this via ferrata guide. They are all precisely described and provided with detailed hiking maps. A difficulty rating makes it easier to choose suitable routes. The introduction to this book also provides extensive information on equipment and safety. Alois Goller has taken over the via ferrata guide "Julian Alps" from Hanns Heindl, who wrote this volume knowledgeably many years ago. For the fourth edition, he has completely revised the book and added numerous new routes.</p> <p>If you want to enjoy the fascination of vertical walls, towers, ridges and chimneys without "real" climbing, this via ferrata guide is an excellent choice. An absolutely must for every "ferratist" and every friend of the rugged mountains in the south-east of the Alps! </p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">165 color illustrations, 53 color tour maps at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, three overview maps at a scale of 1:500,000 and 1:1,250,000 | paperback with Polytex lamination</span></p>
