A climbing challenge in the middle of a mighty rock wall.

Ferrata Olimpline

Ferrata Olimpline begins in the center of Črna na Koroškem and offers a true mountain via ferrata experience with scenic, exposed sections, a base difficulty of C, and more challenging variants up to the most difficult rating of F for experienced climbers.

Ferrata Olimpline begins in the center of Črna na Koroškem, allowing you to start directly from the town—not on a short, sport via ferrata, but on a true mountain via ferrata that conveys the feeling of the alpine world, both in its exposure and length.
The approach to the via ferrata entrance takes approximately 20 minutes of easy walking. You can park anywhere in the center of Črna and walk along the road toward Koprivna, across the bridge; after just a few dozen meters, a sign for the via ferrata will direct you off the road into the hillside. From there, continue along the trail to the via ferrata entrance.

For climbing the via ferrata, which also includes sections of intermediate hiking, the average climber will need approximately 3 to 4 hours. The via ferrata is designed so that its basic variant has a difficulty rating of C, making it accessible to less experienced and moderately fit individuals. It is also suitable for families with well-trained teenagers. Within the via ferrata itself, there are several variants with ratings of D and E, as well as one challenge with a difficulty of F, intended for truly well-prepared and experienced climbers. This is currently the most difficult via ferrata detail in Slovenia. Before the final rock jump, you can also take a walk to the famous Ninot's Hole, a mining tunnel, which will take approximately 10 minutes.
