Nürnberger Turm

International > Europe > Germany > Frankenjura > Würgauer Gebeit

Description

This is where the rivalry took place that I mentioned before. This is also the "gem" of the groupings of crags here because it's the tallest and proudest free-standing tower here.
Since this is a free-standing tower with routes all the way around it, the routes here are listed starting with "Miguello featuring Bär" (the obvious crack on the left of the main photo of the south face) and going all the way around from left to right (counter-clockwise) and ending on the arete to the left of "Miguello featuring Bär" where "Talseite" is located.

Getting There

See Würgauer area description.
