Rosenthal-Bielatal

A Climbing Paradise in the Forest

An idyllic holiday resort nestled in a hiking and climbing paradise, surrounded by expansive forests and bizarre rock formations.

The villages of Bielatal and Rosenthal lie in the heart of a vast forest area that stretches into the Czech Republic. The upper Bielatal valley, in particular, possesses a unique character, most evident between Schweizermühle and Ottomühle. Here, hikers are greeted by a multitude of rock towers in the most fantastic weathered forms, all within the forest.
