Ettringer Lay and Kottenheimer Winfeld

Smooth rock faces, striking overhangs and narrow chimneys promise a thrilling outdoor experience that you’ll remember for a long time to come. Climbing is like an elegant dance on the vertical — one of the most intense ways to experience your own body control and muscular precision. Where basalt lava was actively quarried just a few decades ago, a true natural and sporting paradise now stretches out: recreational climbers have long since claimed the historic quarries as their own, inspiring an ever-growing community.
