Description

🧗
Most routes are vertical and perform with a lot of pockets. At "Steinberg" the routes are not longer than 18 meters but quality and quantity is high. You get everything from slab to slight overhangs. Same at "Breitenstein" but the routes are getting longer. Protection is mostly good.

🌸🌼🍂
Best season is summer and autumn. In winter time you can get some good conditions at the southern faced sectors of "Steinberg" when the sun reaches the crag due to the bald beeches. Spring can be good, too. But the pockets soak for long time.

💧
Especially in Spring the pitted faces soak a lot of water. It's not the best crag to go to after rainy days.

👶
At "Breitenberg" there's a lawn with a picnic area close to the crag what makes it quite good for kids. "Steinberg - Die Kunst des Pirschens" is perfect for kids in all ages.

🍽🍻🛌
In Königstein is all you need. An open air swimming pool, shopping facilities. good restaurants and accommodation. For excellent dinner my recommendation is "zum Hirschen" at the market place, where you get good food.

Breitenstein - Steinberg Süd

The area is access sensitive!

🦅 route "gänsehaut" is closed due to bird breeding

⚠️ Due to the attractiveness this forest is quite stressed, so are the locals of the village "Breitenstein". Please park on offered parkings and not next to the crag. Furthermore there's a mobile toilette at "Steinberg". If you are under pressure, use it.

🚗
This crag is located south-east wards of "Königstein" in the eastern part of the Frankenjura. From "Königstein" drive south via "Sulzbacher Straße". Just after the town up on the hill turn left towards "Breitenstein". There's one parking before you enter the village on the left. Further ahead is another parking in the village's center. If everything is full, park in "Königstein".

🚶‍♂️
Gewitterstein:
Take the main road north passing the chapel. After you've left the village, turn left and go into the forest. The sector is just in front of you.

Breitenstein:
Take the main road north passing the chapel. Just at the brow turn right and pass the lawn with the picnic bench. The sector is just behind.

Steinberg:
At the village's beginning take the right street wich turns into a country lane and goes down the hill passing the fields. After 500 meters go ahead for further 130 meters until you reach the corner of the forest with a mobile toilette.
from here:

Schnapszahl/Kunst des Pirschens/Steinbeißer/Fieberkurve:
Turn right and immediately left into the forest. "Schnapszahl" is to your left after about 80 meters. Follow that trail and you'll pass all other sectors.

Jurassic Park:
Go to "Steinberg Kunst des Pirschens" and take the hiking trail passing the obvious canyon. follow the trail for 130 meters, then turn left and get to the sector from behind.

Der Kaiserin neue Kleider:
go straight ahead into the forest onto a small trail leading up the hill. Pass the rocks to the left and follow that trail. This sector stretches along this trail.
To get to "Kachelmanns Rache" follow that trail ahead and keep at same altitude. It's little hard to find.
