Bierbauch

Climbing 'Bierbauch' (literally 'beer belly'), a well-known route graded 6 in the Nockberge region of Austria, offers a fantastic alpine experience. The Nockberge, known for its rolling, grassy mountains, provides a unique backdrop for rock climbing.

The views from the top are stunning, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding Nockberge landscape. The descent often involves rappelling down the route or a nearby designated path. Be sure to check current conditions, pack appropriately for alpine weather, and have the necessary experience and equipment for multi-pitch climbing.
