• there is still a lot of details, descriptions and topos about the old ferrata online; good source with good topo at bergsteigen.com/bert-rinesch

• it's named after mountain guide Bert Rinesch who was involved in setting the via ferrata and died in the mountains of the Totes Gebirge in 1995.

Lower Entrance: N 40° 34.213 E 8° 09.475 (recommended) Upper Entrance (or exit): N 40° 34.168 E 8° 09.472

There are two variants: an easier one via a rope bridge, that brings the grade down to C, and a harder variant over a C/D section. Both meet after a little bit of climbing.

There are no emergency exits, and bailing is pretty much impossible apart from down climbing.

The views are great, and it's a quality route overall.

Arrivati ad Entraque, nei pressi del benzinaio, si segue la strada di sx che porta alle piste da sci di fondo. Si lascia l’auto dalla prima chiesetta che si incontra (lato dx della strada). Si attraversa la strada e si segue il sentiero ben segnalato (nei pressi di una trattoria) che conduce alla base della parete ben visibile. dopo un bel percorso, si seguono le frecce (ferrata).Bellissima via ferrata, impegnativa e divertente. Tratti strapiombanti notevoli ed ottimo panorama. Consigliata a chi ha esperienza. Saper arrampicare aiuta la “lettura” dei tratti più impegnativi. quasi in cima, la ferrata si divide: parte dx più impegnativa, occorre superare un ponticello tibetano con passaggio che richiede piede sicuro. Parte sx, più semplice. entrambe portano in cima dalla croce.
