Rocher Philippe
A friendly crag just above the village of Philippsbourg. It has two faces, an overhanging East side with some hard, strenuous routes, and a vertical south side with some mid grade routes. Not a huge number of routes, but all of excellent quality, well bolted and ease of access
From the village of Philippsbourg follow the road towards Neunhoffen and park on the right after 100m. The path leads up to the crag in less than 5 minutes
