The Hoachwool via ferrata at the entrance to the Schnalstal Valley opposite Reinhold Messner's Juwal Castle is certainly one of the more challenging via ferratas in South Tyrol. The name Hoachwool refers to the fact that the middle section of the via ferrata runs along an old water pipe system with wooden channels built around 1850. Another highlight of the via ferrata is definitely the 25 metre long rope bridge that crosses the stream at the start of the via ferrata.
