Weg zur dicken Berta

Climbing "Weg zur dicken Berta" (5+) on Hoher Stein is a classic experience in Saxon Switzerland. The route, which translates to "Way to Fat Bertha," offers engaging and varied climbing. The rock is typical Sächsische Sandstein, requiring solid crack climbing technique and judicious use of slings for protection. While the grade is 5+, it can feel harder at times depending on your skill level and confidence with traditional protection. Be prepared for exposed positions and enjoy the stunning views from the summit. A truly memorable ascent!
