Climbing with Respect: Guidelines and action day

When planning for your climbing day, it's not just the difficulty of the routes and parking that's important. Look to see if there are other regulations in the area. These may be justified due to the interests of nature (e.g. temporary closures due to breeding areas) or due to the interests of landowners. Please adhere to them to ensure the most harmonious coexistence possible!

Use public transportation. This way you can make a personal contribution to climate protection. If this is not possible, try to form car pools and park your car only at the designated parking spaces.

If possible, ride your bike to the climbing spot. It doesn't get any more environmentally friendly than that!

Self-explanatory and self-evident: discarded waste such as tape, cigarette butts or organic waste disfigure the environment. If you have to do your business, use existing facilities. If this is not possible, find a quiet place and take the toilet paper back after use in a bag you brought with you!

Be sure to stay on the designated path when walking to and from the camp. Please be careful not to run through meadows or make unnecessary noise. If you have your dog with you, please make sure that it does not run around freely! Do not forget dog bags and dispose of them at the nearest waste garbage can - that goes without saying. Fire making is to be avoided.

Use only the official campsites and designated camping facilities. Wild camping is an absolute no-go - camping in parking lots, in the mountains and in the great outdoors is not allowed.

What you may not know is that twilight hours are extremely important for wildlife. Therefore, plan your stays in such a way that you do not start your way home from the crag in the dark. Night climbing with lamps should also be avoided.

We climbers look out for each other. Respectful interaction with each other is appropriate, so that small things do not suddenly become big problems. We also maintain friendly relations with other interest groups.
