Climbing rock Wuhletalwächter, artificial climbing rock in Berlin, Germany
The Wuhletalwächter is a concrete climbing tower in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf district with a hexagonal shape standing about 17.5 meters tall. It features multiple climbing walls and bouldering areas with varied holds and difficulty levels suited to different climbing techniques.
The tower was built to create more outdoor climbing options in Berlin as part of the city's growing tradition of climbing sports. Its design and purpose have made it a symbol of the development of outdoor climbing in the region.
The name Wuhletalwächter translates to Wuhletal guardian, reflecting the tower's role in the landscape. The site has become a gathering place for the local climbing community, where friends meet regularly to share their passion for outdoor climbing.
Access to the tower requires online booking and operates 24 hours with a valid ticket. The entrance is intentionally designed to be challenging and best suited for experienced climbers, though supervised children may also use it.
Notably, the tower has no safety fence by design, which requires climbers to be exceptionally focused and careful during their ascent. This unconventional approach makes climbing here feel more like an outdoor adventure compared to the controlled environment of indoor gyms.
