For the most part, the red sandstone rocks are protected, and of course the path requirement applies there. However, in selected places it is expressly permitted to practice your climbing skills on the rocks.
PS: In front of Nideggen Castle is the "Dürener Hütte" of the German Alpine Association and a mountain rescue station.
