Plaisir light

Climbing 'Plaisir light' (grade 5+) in the Wachau / Waldviertel region offers a delightful blend of scenic beauty and accessible sport climbing.

Ascending these routes, climbers are rewarded with breathtaking views of the rolling hills, the Danube river winding through the landscape, or the serene forests of the Waldviertel. It's a perfect day out for climbers looking to enjoy the movement, practice their skills, and spend quality time in nature, without the intense pressure of high-end grades. Whether you're a seasoned climber seeking a relaxing day or an intermediate climber looking to progress comfortably, the 5+ 'Plaisir light' routes here are an ideal choice for a memorable adventure.
