The Allgäu, or more precisely the Upper Allgäu with the Allgäu Alps, offers the best conditions for sporty via ferratas and scenic “iron paths”, which would be the direct translation of Via Ferrata. 150 years ago, ladders, steps and similar parts, some of which were still made of wood, were used to develop and secure paths between mountain villages and the Alps. In South Tyrol in particular and in what is now Slovenia, every summit between the parties Austria-Hungary and Italy was fought for during the world wars. Many mountain roads were provided with iron parts, ladders and steel fuses to ensure replenishment and easier, safe access. Some of these routes have now become great sport climbing routes and retain their history as via ferratas.
