Crag features
There's a Via Ferrata running the breadth of the Schwimmbadfels (from left-to-right) including a wire bridge between the centre and the right outcrop. This allows for easy and safe installation of top ropes on most routes. There's additional fixed line wires running across a large part of Schwimmbadfels Links and Mitte - take care not to trip over these.
Bolting is quite mixed, from being very good on some routes to being entirely absent on others. Some routes can be climbed clean/trad. A set of nuts and cams can be handy.
The majority of routes have a single bolt anchor, but you'll also find some chain anchors with a (non-locking) clip.
Most of the routes have a white metal label affixed at the bottom, these consist of a letter and a number (e.g. Simplicissimus has the label D6). However, some routes just have a blank metal label and a few have no label.
The presence of loose rock together with tiered climbs and people crossing routes on the Via Ferrara up top means helmets are highly advisable. There is a collection box at the bottom of the Schwimmbadfels Links section. Donations go towards improvement of the crag.
Approach notes
By bus from from Titisee-Neustadt to Todtnau Poche, or by car drive up to Todtnau and park opposite Hotel Waldeck (do not park in the hotel's car park). You should be able to see see the main face of the Schwimmbadfelsen behind the lido. There is a path leading up to the rock face between the hotel and the lido.
Access Advice
The Klingelefels section has some seasonal access restrictions due to nesting birds, see signage at the crag.
| Visited with our 10 and 12 year old kids and did the Via Ferrata. There are 2 points where you can take a choice of route, if you take the upper branch at the first junction you end up at the top of the crag (and need to retrace your steps to continue with the VF). At the second junction the upper route is easier, the lower route is harder. Both options come back together after approx. 50m and before the wire bridge. A good fun VF for all of our family.
Didn't do any climbing but it looked good. Routes are only marked with letter number, would be useful if somebody could finish adding these refs to the names in the UK database. Sam W - 16/Aug/23 |
