Description

❄️🌼🌞🍂
For summertime "Dragonerwand" and Kreuzerwand" is recommended. "Annasteinseite" would be awesome for wintertime due to it's south facing orientation. But climbing is prohibited until end of july, so best season to come here is late autumn or early winter time.
Sector "Landrichterseite" is ideal for sunny winter days or autumn.

💧
All sectors are vertical more or less. So there's no rain protection. But the south facing and exposed sectors "Annasteinseite" and "Landrichterseite" dry quite fast.

💪⚙️
This crag offers a unique rock structure which is typical for the northern situated limestone of the Frankenjura. The walls are vertical and climbing is very technical due to predominantly sloping crimps with slippery footholds... classical. You can find a lot of cracks, as well. At "Dragonerwand" you get long sustained Routes on sometimes fragile structures. Same at a few passages at "Annasteinseite". But is worth it if you are used to it.
The other sectors are super compact and rock quality is excellent.

👶
Best child suitable sector is "Annastein" and "Kreuzerwand". At "Kreuzerwand" are even two routes for kids. "Landrichterseite" is okay but not perfect. The base is not very even.
All other sectors are unsuitable for kids due to wide spread routes or the danger of falling rocks.

🍽🍻🛌🏊🎸
Next shopping facilities you find in "Buttenheim" near the motorway. If you go East you can visit "Heiligenstadt" for shopping. A lot of restaurants you find in "Buttenheim" or "Heiligenstadt" but there is a small tavern in almost every village, just choose... Good Beer are served in the Brewery "Ott" in "Oberleinleiter", located about 8 km north-east.
