The Elbe Sandstone Mountains' fascination extends way beyond Germany's borders. For the sandstone towers that stand up to almost 300 feet tall pose quite particular challenges to climbers.
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains' fascination extends way beyond Germany's borders. If Americans want to climb in the region although the trip to Yosemite Valley would be a lot shorter, the sandstone towers that stand up to almost 300 feet tall in Saxonian Switzerland and parts of the Czech Republic must indeed be fascinating. It is not only the rock that fascinates but also the type of climbing required. Chalk is prohibited, traditional knots are the only permitted means to secure climbers, and rings are extremely rare. Americans will let Saxonian and Czech locals lead the way - but then they'll go for it too!
