Description

❄️🌼🌞🍂
The sectors around Rupprechtsdegen are facing south as well as north, what makes it an all year round destination.
💧
Especially the southern orientated sectors are very exposed what makes them drying very fast within a few hours. Furthermore you can find sunny wind protected slots where you can easily climb on sunny winter days. The north facing sectors stay wet for long time. Best season here is autumn and summer.

💪⚙️
Vertical climbing on more or less small holds is predominated. Unique in its style is "Emporwand" with its vertical athletic lines on tiny crimps in high grades. Similar but way easier is "Ankertalwand. At "Roter Fels" you find the longest routes in the northern Frankenjura. Have an eye on your rope length, many routes are longer than 35 meters. At "Ankertal Turm" you get the steepest routes here. Powerful climbing on jugs and smaller pockets are a welcome variety to the other sectors.

👶
Only kids suitable base is "Ankertal Turm". It directly at the hiking trail though. All other sectors are not hard to get there but the crag's base is steep wood

🍽🍻🛌🏊🎸
All along the River "Pegnitz" you find good restaurants and beer gardens. In Velden is an excellent cafe with cakes. Little shoppings can be done here as well. Accommodation is all around. If you want to stay in a yurt in awesome community go to velden and ask.
