Mädchenhimmel

Climbing 'Mädchenhimmel' (Grade 4-) in the Gutenstein Alps is a delightful experience. The route, whose name translates to 'Maiden's Heaven,' lives up to its poetic moniker, offering a gentle and accessible introduction to alpine climbing. The rock is generally solid and well-featured, providing ample holds for hands and feet. While the grade 4- suggests relatively easy climbing, paying attention to footwork and maintaining a relaxed approach is still crucial. Expect mostly slab climbing with occasional small steps or steeper sections. The views from the route, especially towards the surrounding valleys and peaks of the Gutenstein Alps, are rewarding, adding to the overall pleasure of the climb. 'Mädchenhimmel' is perfect for beginners looking to gain confidence or experienced climbers seeking a relaxed and enjoyable day out in a beautiful setting.
