Description
Leonhardstein is a mountain summit in the Bavarian Alps, defined by vertical limestone walls and a distinctive rocky profile. The cliff face offers different climbing sectors with varying difficulty levels.
History
In the 19th century, mountain farmers created paths to drive their herds to alpine pastures during summer. These old routes were later used by climbing generations and developed into today's climbing routes.
Culture
Leonhardstein has become a popular destination for climbers who use the steep rock faces here. The rock formations show the rugged alpine landscape that is typical for mountaineers from the region.
Practical
Access is via the B307 near Wildbad Kreuth, where parking areas and clear trail markers are available. Visitors can find different entry points to the climbing sectors suited to various experience levels.
Did you know?
