Climbing with Respect in practice

Every climbing area has its own unique characteristics. Before you set off, find out about the rules in force, seasonal closures and nature conservation restrictions. This way, you’ll help protect sensitive habitats, show respect for landowners and ensure that climbing areas remain accessible in the long term.

Even the journey itself is part of a sustainable climbing experience. Where possible, use public transport, cycle or carpool. This way, you’ll reduce emissions, ease the strain on local infrastructure and make an active contribution to climate protection.

Nature is our Rock Climbing Area. So please take your rubbish away with you, use the toilets provided and leave the Rock Climbing Area clean. By treating the environment with respect, you’ll ensure that future generations can also enjoy unspoilt rocks and an intact natural environment.

Respect is the foundation for harmonious coexistence on the crags. Stay on the marked paths, avoid making unnecessary noise, and show consideration for wildlife, landowners and other climbers. Dogs should also be kept on a lead in sensitive areas.

Only stay overnight at official camping sites or designated parking areas. Wild camping and staying overnight in car parks often lead to conflicts with landowners and local authorities and may, in the long term, jeopardise access to climbing areas.

Many wild animals are particularly active at dusk and during the night. You should therefore plan your hike so that you start and finish in daylight. By behaving considerately, you can help to minimise disturbance and protect the alpine wildlife.
