Betzensteiner Sportkletterwand
A nice place, easily accessible and close to Betzenstein swimming pool. Lots of mid grade routes up to 12m in length. It is north facing and stays cool in summer.
Take the road from Leupoldstein to Betzenstein, and just as you enter the village there is a swimming pool on the left. Just after this is a turning right towards Stierberg, take this and park in a large car park on the right. Cross the road and follow the path into the woods, where you meet the Bellissima wall. The rest crag is further to the left. Less than 5 minutes from the car
