Dresden guidebook?
|
Anyone know where I can find a guide to rock climbing in Dresden? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ryan |
|
About the only one you can get easily is from bergverlag-roelke.de/ which covers the area pretty well and is in 6 volumes. Most of the other versions are no longer published or incomplete but you can pick them up on ebay sometimes. |

Sounds like an area that could use the dreaded "best of" guide. |
|
Close to Dresden, on the Czech/German border, the area is called Sächsische Schweiz. I would use that search term on some german sites. I don't know of any guidebooks though. |
|
The other guides from Robert Hahn and Jürgen Schmeisser are compacter at 2 and 3 volumes respectively but they are harder to use since everything is brutally crammmed in. The old DDR guides were in such small print you can´t believe, like a pocket dictionary. |
|
Yeah I would +1 to finding a local. |
|
Thanks, Jim. I'll find someone to help navigate the sites you mentioned and probably pick up a couple guides online. |
|
Sorry I can't help with a guide, but I do have some personal experience. |

Although I believe that he focuses more on the traditional climbs this elllocesaqui.wordpress.com/… might be a useful English language resource for the area. |
