      An absolute climbing paradise... you'll find hooks and ropes on every wall.

        As if the volcanoes in the region had only erupted a few years ago. Such an exciting area

            Fascinating steep walls that still clearly show the lava flow. Very impressive.

              Volcano remains from a period of more than 200,000 years & its lava flows.🌋

                In the historic mining landscape of Kottenheimer Winfeld you can explore a 400,000 year old, 40 meter thick lava flow. Bizarre rock formations make the forest enchanting. The massive basalt blocks are a playground for boulderers.
