Daniele and Katerina had looked for it before but had not found it so this time they brought reinforcements, extra pairs of eyes. <\/p>\n<p>The route starts at the swimming pool in G\u00f6tzis and follows a river along a marked track for some time. It then takes a left and continues up the river in the \u00d6rflaschlucht. This is a nice ravine with high cliff walls. Walking up this river feels like you have landed in the jungle somewhere in Asia. It feels remote. The track is marked occasionally with rock piles. We found the start of the klettersteig after maybe 45 minutes walking on the true left of the river.<\/p>\n<p>The klettersteig is not too difficult. It feels like a B\/C route. It crosses the river again and the scenery is really nice. A sharp climb with views back down into the ravine. A little more walking and you come to the end\u2026 Except you haven\u2019t\u2026 There\u2019s a small section of walking before you get to the last section which is more like a D and ascends directly out of the ravine (you\u2019ve already done a good part of the climbing).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a sustained few minutes of climbing and you are finished. There\u2019s then a nice walk back down which drops back into the ravine lower down and then leads back out the way you came to where you started.<\/p>\n<p>Very nice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Via-Oerfla-Map.png\" class=\"thickbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Via Oerfla Map\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Via Oerfla Map\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Via-Oerfla-Map_thumb.png\" width=\"244\" height=\"154\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above: A map of the area (Kompass Wanderkarte)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniele, Katerina, Chris, Julia, and I headed off to G\u00f6tzis in search of the elusive Via \u00d6rfla klettersteig.
