The state of Bavaria offers a whole range of good alpine climbing areas in the Bavarian foothills on the border with Österreich. Most walls range from 100 to 300 meters in height. The climbing is mainly on limestone. The level of protection varies considerably. Everything is included from alpine classics to very well protected multi-pitch routes.
