Description

🧗‍♂ Angelstein is one of the most beautiful bouldering sectors in the northern Black Forest. The boulders are very close together, offer good rock quality and more than 60 routes of all difficulties! There is also an easy and short approach (~10 min).

Please respect all access rules listed under “Access”!

📡 Reception:
Download the topo before you go there! The reception is not always available at the boulders.

🪨 Rock quality:
The quality of the sandstone here is very good!

💎 Some of the most beautiful / challenging boulders are:
Flut - FB 4A
Treffer versenkt - FB 7A
Mom's Spagetti - FB 7A
Captain Blaubär - FB 7A+

☀️ On hot / sunny days we recommend:
In this sector, all the rocks and lines are in the shade! Recommended for hot days!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For families with children we recommend:
Block 4 is located directly on a good path with a flat square in front of it. Overall, blocks 1-6 are not too badly located. The lower blocks from block 12 onwards are mostly on a slope. Access to the lower blocks is also rather difficult for families, so not really recommended.

❗️IMPORTANT NOTICE❗️

Please do NOT climb after rain! Sandstone soaks up water! Even if the rock appears dry on the surface, it can be wet on the inside and therefore break very easily! As the rocks in this sector are always in the shade, it takes several days after rain for everything to really dry out. Please bear this in mind if you plan to boulder here!

History

Development around Angelstein began in 2020 and has not yet been completed. As of 2024, there is still a lot of potential for new blocks and routes.
