Ferrata Hněvín is a one-way secured climbing route on a rock face in Most, opened in 2022, leading from the old waterworks to a cave below Hněvín Castle. It offers an adventurous experience with scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
☀️ Offers two distinct paths: an easier 'A' route suitable for beginners and a slightly more challenging 'A/B' or 'B' route for experienced climbers.
🧗♀️ The route has an elevation gain of 38 meters and consists of approximately 36 meters of climbing along a steel safety rope, followed by about 70 steps to the top.
⏱️ The ferrata itself takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, with the approach from parking taking up to 10 minutes and the return 5-10 minutes.
👨👩👧👦 It is explicitly stated as suitable for children and beginners due to its accessible difficulty levels.
✈️ The ferrata provides rewarding views of the Ore Mountains, Matylda Lake, and parts of Most Lake from its elevated position.
🎶 The route concludes at a historical cave, excavated by German soldiers during WWII as an air-raid shelter, with a newly developed wooden terrace and stairs for comfortable access.
🚫 Strict safety rules require visitors to use their own certified equipment, including sturdy footwear, a harness, a fall arrester set, a helmet, and climbing gloves.
🚫 Climbing is prohibited during adverse weather conditions such as rain, thunderstorms, snow, reduced visibility, or on wet/damp rocks due to safety concerns.
⚠️ Entry to the ferrata is at your own risk, emphasizing personal responsibility for safety.
🅿️ Parking is available at the castle parking lot or near the old water treatment plant.
🍽️ A wooden terrace with railings is available near the cave for visitors to rest and enjoy panoramic views.
🚗 Access to the ferrata starts via a path leading to the old waterworks, with parking options nearby.
🚶♀️ The descent from the ferrata's end at the cave can be made via a path leading back to the parking area, or by new stairs from the viewing gazebo above Souš.
