About Schrammsteine

A 12km-long strung-out ridge of jagged sandstone towers east of Bad Schandau in the Sächsische Schweiz National Park. Hoher Torstein is the summit at 425m. Home of the classic Saxon ethics: climbing only on free-standing towers, no chalk, no metal protection (nuts/cams), no top-roping; gaps between the sparse ring bolts are filled only with slings, knotted-cord wedges and V-threads. The rules are legally binding via the National Park regulations and enforced by generations of local climbers since Rudolf Fehrmann codified them in 1913. Cretaceous sandstone crumbles when wet — the 2-3 day wait after rain is not a suggestion, it protects the resource. South faces bake in summer; shady faces plentiful across the ridge.
