The climbing guide by Sebastian Schwertner provides comprehensive information on the Franconian climbing areas, including 6500 routes, comments on almost every route, QR codes and GPS coordinates of starting points, and a free app for iOS and Android.
As per usual, Sebastian Schwertner provides detailed information on the lesser-known areas of Franconia in the 13th edition of the climbing guide. This edition has been expanded by eight pages to a total of 584 pages and, combined with Volume 1, contains over 1100 pages of information on the 12,600 climbing routes in the northern Franconian Jura. Volume 2 specifically describes 6500 routes and includes comments on nearly every route, which are both helpful on site and entertaining to read later on. The guide includes a download code for a free app for iOS and Android that provides access to all Franconian topos, as well as QR codes and GPS coordinates of starting points and parking lots. The guide covers a range of areas including Walberla, Trubachtal, Betzensteiner area, Spieser area, Schnaittacher area, Pegnitztal, Krottensee Forest, Hirschbachtal, Königsteiner area, Lehental, Högenbachtal, Förrenbachtal, and the Lauterbachtal. Volume 1 covers all rocks north of the Forchheim-Pegnitz line and is also available for purchase. The guide includes a free three-year app, and for any app-related inquiries, the Vertical-Life team can be contacted directly.
