Description

🧗
The most routes here are long and vertical in diverse rock. Rock quality reaches from perfect shaped and bomb proof to fragile and horrible. Though most routes are very good. So is the protection. The older classics tend to have far distances between bolts. Newer routes can keep up with the protection known from gyms.

🌼🌞🍂❄️
Here you can climb all years through. The whole crag is facing south more or less. Due to the deciduous forest the base and lower parts of the routes stay in the shade in summer time.

💧
There's no really rain proof section but the rock dries fast after rain.

👶
Access is long but once you've reached the sectors there's enough room for older kids. If they are younger, better have a sitter.

🍽🍻🛌
Next recommended accommodation and restaurant is in "Morschreuth" up the hill Or all along the river valley "Trubachtal". For bigger shopping go to "Ebermannstadt"
