INTERNATIONAL FRANKENJURA CLIMBING FESTIVAL
First in Germany
May 28, 2012
At the weekend around Whitsun 2012 (25th to the 28th of May) the 1st International Frankenjura Climbing Festival in Germany will take place.
At these four days there will be – amongst other attractions – a big Party, a national BoulderCup and a car-free Withmonday at the Pegnitztal with a big street market.
The festival consists of several main events: A few kilometers away from Betzenstein, in Auerbach, will be the location for high performance sports events. Here, on Whit Saturday, the DAV will host the 2012 German Youth Championships and on Sunday the German Boulder Cup with the best boulderers from Germany. In between, on Saturday evening, there will be a climbers party at the Betzenstein outdoor swimming pool.
On Monday, the last day of the climbing festival, the organizers will close a three-kilometer stretch of road through the wildly beautiful upper Pegnitz valley for a car free outdoor day. On the festival promenade, meet aspiring and die-hard outdoor sport fans for a sporty gathering and for culinary and musical delights.
Throughout the entire festival, workshops on climbing, nature conservation, and outdoor sports will be available. The entire climbing festival is subject – at home with the climbing spirit – to the premise of sustainable use of nature. Thus a shuttle service will be available, which enables festival-goers to reach all events and all "FranksPfalz" communities with public transportation.
