Anyone know if there is any rock climbing in Northern Germany. I am relocating to Holland in January and I would like to know where my nearest outdoor climbing will be.
Cheers

Not a lot of climbing in Northern Germany. There is climbing in Ith near Hanover/Hildesheim and then further south towards Harz
Have a look at this link. http://www.derklemmkeil.de/
Hope this helps

I think there is plenty south of Aachen in the Eifel region.

Nearest outdoor climbing is very likely to be in Belgium

Freyr near Dinant is belgium is probably your best bet.. Popular with the Dutch. Easy classics gleam. Fine crag though.

The stuff near Aachen (I can't remember any names) is peculiar pudding stone stuff. No chalk, because chalk on the pebbles with holds behind them drops the grade by about 2 UK grades.

The Ith is nice - grit meets limestone, with bolts. Small outcrops. The Harz is granite - only done a little there - didn't think much of it

In reply to kcarey: Run a search of "Rock Destinations" for "Pfalz". Choose the all messages option not the last six months and you will get quiet a bit of info.

In reply to kcarey:
the area covered by the book linked by styman is well documented at http://www.stonevibes.de (incidentally, I saw it for sale in a large outdoor shop in Hathersage in the summer). Berdorf (Luxembourg) is to the west of the area covered by this book, but is now essentially banned to foreigners - in theory you can apply for a permit for 4 week-ends per year, but at least 15 days in advance.
