Allgäu Rock Climbing Guidebook

Description

This is a comprehensive guidebook covering the Allgäu region in southern Germany and northern Austria.  The guidebook is split into 3 main regions with the largest being Oberallgäu, an area in southern Germany between the towns of Kempten, Sonthofen and Oberstdorf.  The other regions are around the towns of Fussen (on the German/Austria border) and Tannheimer Tal near Reutte in Austria.  2 smaller regions are also covered, which are Känzele near Bregenz in Austria and the climbing at Unterallgäu.

The climbing is almost entirely single pitch sport routes on predominantly limestone rock, along with some conglomerate and sandstone.  In total 93 different crags are described and over 2,400 routes.  For each crag there is a detailed location map, access description, plus QR codes and GPS co-ordinates for the parking areas.  Each crag is given a star rating from 1 to 4 to easily identify the best crags of the area.  All the routes are shown on detailed topos.

Published in April 2024 (revised 9^th Edition) by Gebro Verlag, this guidebook is full colour throughout and includes many excellent action photographs.  This guidebook is in German text, though the introduction at the start of the book is also in English.
