Summary

Demolished bunker remains in the middle of the woods with "quasi-natural" and chipped routes.

Description

"Dickes B - Kletterführer Berlin-Brandenburg", 2. Auflage 2013, Gerald Krug, Geoquest Verlag Halle, ISBN 978-3-00-016977-9

The demolition of the bunker created a turmoil of impressive toppled concrete pieces, partially with "quasi-natural" breaking faces, cracks, roofs and slabs.

Warning!

This is not a sport gym! There are imminent dangers from:

  • loose concrete parts, on the ground and the walls
  • metal rods sticking out of the concrete
  • old, poorly placed or non-conforming bolts
  • some route may require extra gear Back up you pro, don't get hurt. If you do, don't blame anyone.

Keep low-profile!

The owner has expressly said climbing is not permitted despite no signage to the effect at the location. He has asked the DAV to take responsibility but they have not done so yet.

If you do decide to risk it follow these precautions:

  • Approach by foot or bike; or leave your car as indicated below. Driving through the forest can be heavily fined!
  • Don't leave any rubbish and take out those of other.
  • Be nice to other visitors and bunker enthusiasts.
  • If any, bury your feces at sufficient distance.
  • No fire, no loud music
  • No bolting and chipping without prior inquiry

Approach

Best approached by bike (10 km from Bernau station) or bus stop Försterei Woltersdorf (1.5 km).

With a car, park at the pullouts next to the road between Ladeburg and Lanke (:parking52.741450, 13.568500). These have been recently upgraded with guardrails making it much more difficult to park. From this parking spot just go to the east to the bunker (52.739643, 13.575633). Don't drive to the bunker!

History

History timeline chart

The bunker "Koralle" served as naval headquarters in WW-II. It stood more than 10 m above ground. After the victory, the Red Army blew up the bunker. The area remained restricted for several decades and was used a a military training range. When access became possible in the 1990ies, development of bouldering and climbing routes was driven mainly by Berlin climbers.
