A unique landscape, metamorphasized granite rock, good protection and climbing opportunities for any skill are the main ingredients of the East Bavarian crags.
The Bavarian Forest has been a favorite of Czech climbers for years now (it is closer and more in nature), and many were looking forward to this unique guidebook since the old one was out of date and this area has passed a period of big development. We all were also curious about new crags hidden deep within the forest.
