Seasonal closures for protected birds. See here: Closed crags

Zoning concept
Please respect signs and zoning.
The Frankenjura covers a big area; it depends where you want to climb and where you want to have your "base camp". The main city Nürnberg in the south west offers airport and railway connections to many crags. Public transport: VGN is your only option.

Then you have to change to bus or bicycle. The valley of the Pegnitz, for example, can be reached by using the R3.
Some areas, however, are poorly connected with public transport (not much has happened since the middle ages). Most people have a car to travel around.
Camping
The website of the Tourismuszentrale Fränkische Schweiz lists all camp grounds.
