Short facts

Climbing courses & more

The climbing school at the Ottendorfer Hütte offers courses and guided tours in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The aim is to teach safe climbing basics and enable first experiences on summits. Guided hiking and via ferrata tours with expert guides are also on offer.

The courses are aimed at individuals, families, groups, school classes or clubs. The program includes taster days, basic and advanced courses (each lasting two days), guided climbing and via ferrata tours. Climbing equipment is provided (for a fee for guided tours). There is no age limit. Accompanying persons without active participation are also welcome.

A climbing day lasts around five to seven hours. The meeting point is in Ottendorf, the start and route are agreed individually. Destinations are prominent rocks or viewpoints with insights into the geology, history and nature of the national park. After the tour, you can stop for refreshments at the hut. There is also a small souvenir shop on site.

The course is led by certified climbing instructors or members of the mountain rescue service.

You will need to be in good health, wear comfortable clothing (e.g. long trousers), sturdy shoes for the approach and a daypack with food and drink. Dogs can be brought along by prior arrangement.
