Röthelfels

The Röthelfels formation extends vertically with numerous climbing routes carved into its south-facing limestone surface, offering varied technical challenges for climbers.

The rock formation emerged during the Jurassic period when marine sediments compacted and transformed into limestone through geological processes spanning millions of years.

Local climbing communities have established 163 sport climbing routes and 17 traditional routes, creating a network of paths that define regional outdoor recreation.

Climbers can access the formation through marked trails from the parking area near Morschreuth, with optimal climbing conditions occurring during spring and fall.

The Galerie sector closes between February and June for bird protection, demonstrating the balance between recreational activities and natural conservation efforts.
