Battert Rocks
Battertfelsen
A group of porphyry cliffs behind the castle, a climbing hot spot, with several lookout points on the trails overlooking the city and the Rhine plain.
The Battert Rocks are a cluster of red porphyry cliffs rising tens of meters, located in a nature reserve and famous as a climbing destination in southwestern Germany. Ordinary visitors can take the loop trail starting from Hohenbaden Old Castle, which takes about 1.5 hours and passes railed lookouts and rocky paths. Some sections are steep and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. Climbing areas are closed seasonally to protect birds.
