Hiking

Mighty rock face, about 50m high as seen from the Wieslautertal, very popular with climbers.

Rock climbing

The PK edge (much better secured than the E1/E2 in the topo suggests) is almost a must here, as are the great cracks. But there are also real botches here and there - e.g. B. The entrance to the Graue Wand should simply be bypassed from the left using the band. Above, in the eastern part, you almost automatically become a tourist attraction.
