Best Hikes to Eschbach Cliffs

Tips

  • Basically the home rock for the climbing scene north of Frankfurt. A good selection of easy to medium difficulty routes.

  • For decades, the Eschbacher cliffs have been a well-known and popular destination throughout the Rhine-Main area. Here you can meet walkers, hikers, mountain bikers and families who picnic here.
    In the western part of the rock formation climbs the untrained spontaneous climber and children, the eastern part serves as a practice rock for future professional climbers.
    When climbing there is very danger of falling, especially since the rocks are partly smooth polished by strong inspection, but I know of no major accident.
    Information board on the eastern edge, seating slightly off to the west of the rocks.

  • The Eschbacher Cliffs form a strong contrast to the gently rolling landscape of the Taunus Nature Park. They are located in the middle of the Usinger Land: bizarre, steeply rising rocks made of quartz rock, up to 12 meters high. The rock face is a visible part of a quartz vein about six kilometers long, which continues across the Usatal to the Wormstein in the Usinger city forest. The Eschbacher Cliffs are perfect for beginner climbers or for bouldering, but hikers and picnickers also get their money's worth.
