The Sinwel via ferrata, named after the local historian Prof. Sinwel and occasionally referred to as the Lengerer Steig, offers a beautiful view of the Kaiser and the Inn Valley.
The climb begins with a slightly ascending and descending traverse. Walking terrain leads to a 10m high iron ladder below a small rock structure. Then you cross to the left to a small crack, which is secured with struts. This ends the insurance and one climbs through light forest to a fork in the path. Turn left in one minute to the summit cross at Häringer Pölven (1477m) with a beautiful view of the Inn valley. To the right you reach the Mittagskogel (1595m) at the summit plateau in about half an hour.
