Rhein-Main Gebiet: Sport Climbing Guidebook

Before there were climbing gyms on every corner, generations of climbers from the Rhein-Main region made their first steps in the Morgenbachtal. Incidentally, in contrast to today, climbing novices did not learn how grasp the holds, but to stand firmly on small footholds. Only in a few climbing areas in Germany can you find such a rich potential for easy and medium-difficult routes in a beautiful landscape. A huge contrast to the lovely pleasure in the Morgenbachtal offers the 180 meters high rock wall, the Rotenfels, only a few miles away. High above the Nahe, adventure specialists get their money's worth here. But be awarer: beginners and gym climbers are not right here at at Rotenfels. In addition to these two highlights, the rock seekers in Hunsrück, Taunus and Spessart will find many hidden climbing pearls: the bizarre Nikolausfelsen high above the Rheingau vineyards with its offwidth specialties, the nice Kirner Dolomites, which come along far less powerful than their namesake, the Lorsbacher Wand , where once the Frankfurt scene pulled its fingers, the toy-like Eschbacher cliffs and many, many more. And to whom this is all too natural: there's also buildering in Frankfurt! The quay wall at Ruhrorter Werft is a pretty special place for fearless mainwater solo specialists. So no more excuses.
