Climbing in the Frankenjura

The Frankenjure
 ( 'Fränkische Schweiz')  one of the world's most famous sport climbing areas. 
This is where back in the days guys like Wolfgang Güllich, Kurt Albert, Jerry Moffat and many others developed the idea of modern free climbing: Kurt Albert started leaving red dots at the base of 'freed' climbs - and created the 'Red Point'. Wolfgang Güllich climbed the first UIAA 11 ever (Action Directe, 9a or 5.14d). And so on.

The rock is finest limestone, known for perfect face climbing and incredibly roofs with mean finger pockets.
more than 7000 routes on approximately 1000 crags
beautiful limestone we cant wait to get your chalked up hands on!
