    The Buchstein is a beautiful rock formation. The individual rocks are ideal for climbing for both beginners and advanced climbers. There are also some pre-prepared climbing routes. Climbing is not allowed everywhere. The signs always point to designated climbing areas.

      The rock is very steep. It's best to climb with long pants and long shirts. Since there are no hooks in the walls, you always have to climb top rope or free solo 🤪. The rock heads for hanging the rope are easy to reach on the mountain side.

        Grandiose rock formations. According to legend, the Bayreuth city archives at the “Buchstein” were hidden in the crevices from the invading Swedes during the Thirty Years' War.
