Klettersteig Contact us for dates and prices.

Alpine hiking or Klettersteig is a European specific hiking discipline that combines hiking and climbing.

Rather than climbing up a rock face klettersteiging involves “crossing” or “traversing” rock walls on an established trail while utilizing a safety harness and safety belays. Our local Klettersteig is located in the Hirshbach Valley. Approximately 45 minutes drive time from Grafenwoehr/Vilseck. The Hohengluecksteig Klettersteig has various routes guaranteed to satisfy all types of participants. From calm to extreme, a Klettersteig adventure can be customized to meet your desires.

Hunting & Fishing & Sport Shooting You are new to Germany and enjoy Hunting and Fishing: Grafenwoehr’s Hunting & Fishing program will satisfy your needs!

Outdoor Recreation offers Hunting and Fishing Classes, organizes fishing and hunting events, and helps you in your transition from the States. A lot of European rules apply, some restrictions might be new to you, so we will teach them to you and help you through it.
