Description

The striking "Jochberg", affectionately referred to in this way in the Zillertal climbing scene, unfolds as a true paradise for climbing enthusiasts and at the same time represents an excellent training area. The uncomplicated accessibility of this place gives Monkey Island an additional fascination that unfolds especially in the evening, when climbing enthusiasts from the region and beyond gather here to conquer the walls and exchange ideas in the picturesque surroundings.
