Nassfeld - Torre Clampil (Ferata Amicizia Nassfeld Pramollo)

Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana on Gorenjska highway, exit Hrušica, continuation over the border crossing Rateče to Trbiž. We continue on a local road to Pontebba. Before the village we turn through the second underpass and right after it straight by the left bank of the river to a crossroad with signs for Nassfeld. We follow the road to mountain pass and we drive past a smaller lake over national border. Right before it, before the road starts road descending is on the left side large macadam parking lot, where we park. By the edge of the parking lot is located also kiosk with thousand and one signposts ;). For the entire path from Ljubljana to the parking lot, we need 2 hours.

Path description:
Access to ferrata: We will go in the direction of the mountain pasture Madritschen Alm, and past it on shortest path towards the entrance in ferrata. It is located above the upper of two artificial lakes, which we will meet.
The beginning of the path and signposts we find on the edge of the parking lot. We continue right on a nice macadam road to first signposts. Here, the path branches off left in the direction of 403. We soon come to the bottom artificial lake, past which leads the path on the left side. We again notice signs and we continue past the bench straight into a thin forest. After the exit from there we come to a macadam road on which we can continue the ascent. The marked path otherwise leads through a meadow, but in the summer time there is a lot of cow cakes with pleasant smells :). Both paths come together by signpost, which points in the direction of the mountain pasture Madritschen Alm. Old wooden sign, which is also on photo, it was supposedly recently removed, therefore for orientation we can use a well above macadam path. The path goes past it and is marked. When we cross the mountain pasture, blazes lead right towards the crossing of slopes on the top of which there is the upper station of the cable car. The path is pleasant and views are opening up. On the right side we can already see our destination Torre Clampil, or its northern mountain wall. We continue to the signposts above left edge of water park and on the path we descend towards the scree below the walls. There is another signpost. Straight upwards runs easy ridge ferrata, and our path leads right over a slope somehow towards the middle of the vertical wall. If we carefully follow the blazes there won't be any problems. Additional comments of the path are located at photos.
Ferrata: Ferata itself is from the beginning to the end well-marked and secured. Its character is determined by vertical walls, through which we have to ascend. Those are in some parts overhang, therefore path reaches level E. The most difficult part is in upper third good 20-30 meters, so those who will have problems already below, rather give up before it is too late. There isn't any emergency exits. Ascent runs mostly on stemples, by which runs protective steel cable. At the ascent is it doesn't help much, because it is runs past stemples and serves more or less for self belaying. Strength in arms is necessary.
Descent: On summit are two additional options of descent. We can we go left in the direction of Winkel Turm and on easy ridge ferrata back towards the starting point at the lake. Nice is also descent on the right side, which through easier rocky parts brings us on the saddle between Torre Clampil and Monte Cavallo. From here we descend towards foot and we stick to the right marked path. This one as well brings us below Torre Clampil back to the starting point at the lake. Descent towards the parking lot runs from here ahead on the ascent route.
Warnings: Description refers to condition of the path in August 2011. It is good to check condition of the path before we go into a wall. Because there isn't any emergency exits. Climbing gloves and short rope are very useful for resting or photography. Because arms suffer the most in this wall. A helmet and self-belay set are self-evident. Needed is also complete indifference for depth, because there is so much air below feet as not on many ferratas. Without appropriate experiences this path will quickly cause problems to unprepared mountaineer.
Good luck!
