More than 140 years have passed since the development of climbing in one of Germany's most beautiful low mountain ranges began. In the recent past, several peaks in the Zittau Mountains have been opened up for climbing, which is why a revised climbing guide was long overdue. This work now contains information on 2,180 routes to 130 climbing destinations. The climbing guide is divided into three sections: Weißbachtal, Oybin and Jonsdorf. All objects are shown on area maps, and in some cases also on site plans. There is an ascent sketch for each peak or massif, with somewhat confusing walls also shown using topo sketches.The new climbing guide uses a series of pictograms to draw the user's attention to important features of the respective climbing crag: fast-drying rock, child-friendly terrain, often damp, historical information and information on closure periods.At the same time, the climbing guide is illustrated with a large number of historical and current photos.276 pageslanguage germanedition 2024M.

In the "eastern part" this concerns in particular the rocks of the Jeschkengebirge/Ještěd, which in the recent past have been wonderfully furnished with new bolts, abseil rings and summit books by Czech mountaineering friends. Especially mountain lovers of medium difficulty will get their money's worth here. But also sports fans of higher difficulty ratings will find numerous destinations in the revised climbing guide. Among them are the Mathauschwand, the Fellerkofel, the Oberwegsteine and the Rabensteine, which also offer ascents up to the 10th degree of the Saxon/Bohemian difficulty scale. On the already mentioned Mathauschwand, the approaches are also equipped with numerous bolts in the best sport climbing manner. Individual climbing crags or groups of crags, which have a larger number of ascents, are shown on so-called ascent sketches (bird's eye view) and topo sketches (side view) for better orientation. The mountain lover should pay special attention to the pictograms listed next to the rock name. These give further important information, which should help in the selection of the rocks to be visited, in a short and easily understandable form. An innovation in the presented climbing guide is working with QR codes. With their help, a variety of additional information on the individual climbing areas, such as access, parking, rock or closure times, can be accessed via a separate website.     140 pages language: german edition 2019 M Bellmann, J.
