The Tennengebirge is a high limestone plateau between Golling, Werfen and Abtenau in the state of Salzburg, mostly known for sport climbing at its foot and alpine routes on its rim. The most popular crag is Pass Lueg, right by the road in the Salzach gorge at around 600 m: a west-facing wall with routes up to about 60 m from grade 4 to 9-, mostly bolted though not always perfectly, and somewhat polished in the central part; the classics are the corner "Piaz" (4) and the "Kleine Kante" (5-). Other crags include the Kleiner Pass Lueg and the crag by the Laufener Hütte, while the Hochthron, the Hochkogel north-west face and the area around the Werfener Hütte offer alpine climbing.
Pass Lueg is reached from the Golling motorway exit towards the pass; park just before the top, before the "Salzachöfen" sign (from the south use the Pass Lueg exit and drive under the pass). The approach takes only a few minutes, and the spectacular Salzachöfen gorge at the top of the pass is worth a visit. Valley crags are climbable from spring to autumn, while the plateau and its walls are mainly climbed in summer. The crag at Pass Lueg is not suitable for small children.
