High up in the Rureifel
The red sandstone cliffs in Nideggen are among the most popular climbing areas in North Rhine-Westphalia. Steep, reddish walls offer a variety of routes on the edge of the Eifel National Park. The rough sandstone provides good grip, while cracks and ledges ensure varied climbing. A place for anyone seeking peace, nature, and a challenge.
