Kühlochfelsen

International > Europe > Germany > Frankenjura

Description

This is a nice crag that is completely in the shade because of the trees. It has mostly routes in the harder ranges (8 and above) but there are still a few easy ones for beginners on the side. I stick clip is need for a lot of these climbs unless you feel good 30 feet off the ground with ankle rollers everywhere!

Getting There

The easiest way to the crag is to go from Pruihausen. Coming into Pruihausen turn right if your coming from B87 and left if your coming from Breitenstein at the only major turn in town. 20 meters after this turn you will keep to the left of a tourist map and keep going on the main road onto a field path. Once in the field you will take a left at the first fork and a right at the second continuing on the right side of the field. When the field path starts turning left and enters the forest again park on the right or left side.
Walking in the same direction you were driving turn right and start walking up a slight hill on a path marked with white letters on the the trees. Continue up the hill and start going left at a small outcropping of rocks. The crag will appear on the right side!
