climbing Guidebook Rhein-Main Gebiet

Before there were climbing gyms on every corner, generations of climbers from the Rhine-Main region took their first steps in the Morgenbach Valley. By the way, in contrast to today, novice climbers did not learn how to twist in and grab holds back then, but how to stand solidly on small footholds. Only in a few climbing areas in Germany can you find such a rich potential of easy and intermediate routes in magnificent scenic surroundings. The highest rock face in Germany, the Rotenfels, is 180 meters high and offers an enormous contrast to the lovely Genussteigen in the Morgenbach Valley just a few kilometers away. High above the Nahe River, adventure and break specialists get their money's worth here - quite clearly: beginners and indoor migrants have no business on the Rotenfels. In addition to these two highlights, rock seekers will find many hidden climbing gems in Hunsrück, Taunus and Spessart: the bizarre Nikolausfelsen high above the Rheingau vineyards with its crack specialties, the nice Kirner Dolomites, which come across as far less formidable than their namesakes, the Lorsbacher Wand, where the Frankfurt scene once stretched its fingers, the toy-like Eschbacher Klippen and many, many more. And if all this is too natural for you: Frankfurt can also do buildering! The quay wall at the Ruhrort shipyard is a pretty special place for fearless Mainwater solo specialists. So: there are no more excuses.
