Via Ferrata Häntzschelstiege

Location: Schrammsteine area near Schmilka/Bad Schandau
Difficulty: Roughly B (moderately difficult; exposed ladders and steps)
Duration: About 3–4 hours as part of a circular hike (including “Wilde Hölle” descent)
Description: Famous sandstone route with iron ladders through chimneys and gullies; feels like a via ferrata though protection is not continuous; spectacular, but only for surefooted, non-vertigo-prone hikers.
