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. 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.
