Hartenstein

The area is access sensitive!

🖐
The owner of "Hartensteiner Wand" was quite annoyed by the climbers. Climbing is still possible after long discussions with IG-Klettern, so stick to following rules and enjoy climbing.
- don't park at the cemetery or access road
- stay on the path
- use the mobile toilette at cemetery
- don't let you kids destroy flora
- no hammocks (?)
- not more than 20 climbers (at whole sector)
- show your fun without sounds
- no fire, no pooping, no and so on
