Description

“Armelen” is only interesting for the climbing elite. There's nothing to get here under 7b. The “Black Swan” (8c) by Markus Haid is one of the hardest routes in the valley. The small climbing garden is only accessible from May. Ice fall can occur in spring due to ice melting. After rainfall, the wall remains wet and impassable for a long time. The access to the individual routes is sometimes difficult and not possible.

Getting here

  • Parking

    Follow the forest road steeply uphill until you reach a fork or a bridge. After crossing the bridge, continue along the path in a southerly direction along the stream until you reach a clearing. Here, turn right onto a forest track and continue until you reach a bee house. After the bee house, follow a trail that first leads through the forest and later over boulders until you reach the wall.
