Amerikanische Botschaft (American Embassy)

Description

A really cool and fun crag with southern exposure which makes it great for cooler weather. The names of the routes are also for the most part in English!

The climbing is a mixture of pockets and crimps. The left crag is about 10m tall while the right crag is up to 22m. In total there are 13 routes and 1 boulder problem, and the majority of the routes are 5.11.

Getting There

Drive to Gößweinstein. From there drive to Behringersmühle and stay in the direction of Bayreuth, but before you leave Behringersmühle you'll see a large parking area on the right. Park here and hike in the direction of Tüchersfeld. After 350m (about 100m after the last house) there's a path on the left leading up to the crag. You first come to the left wall, and keep following the path to get to the next wall after about 50m.
The map and GPS coordinates indicate the location of the parking lot.
