Summary
Description
Slab
Vertical
North West
The rock quality varies a lot, so wearing a helmet is recommended. Also, even though the routes have been re-equipped, there are still some larger distances between bolts, so have some mobile protection ready. Take care to not place nuts behind one of the many loose blocks, though!

Approach
Steep hike
5-10 min
Drive from Roßdach towards Wattendorf; park on the left 100 m after you leave Roßdach. Walk across the street and follow an overgrown path to the left along the forest. Before the path widens and enters the forest, there is another small track leading right. Follow this one: it turns left into the forest and up the hill after a few meters, and leads directly to the crag.

History
In 1932, Hans Kraus from the German Alpine Club (section Bamberg) made the first ascent of the "Bindelweg", which used to be a long traverse through the wall, in remembrance of Dr. Karl Bindel, director of the club section between 1895 and 1908.
