Climbinggarden Postalm

The wildest Clammy in our area ist the Rußbach, which comes from the Postalmgebiet and entrenched themselves deeply into the area. So far the ravine only was for experienced Canyoninger-fans, now is it also for the multiplicity of the climber possible.

The Facts

With this climbing-garden, which was build by the initiative of Strobls vice-mayor Mr. Ing. Franz Laimer and Gisbert Rabeder , the Postalm extends their summer leisure offer by an attractive facet because the climbing municipality continues to increase.

So it's verry important, to offer the climbers a great opportunity in the region.

Dates:
how to get there: from Strobl, direction to the Postalm, at the toll gate till the first bend (Bus-stop), just before ther is a parkinarea for climbers with a general map.
From the bus-stop you follow the forststreet, pass the Simonhütte, after about 1 kilometer you reach the bridge over the Rußbach.

Entrance: before the Rußbach brigde (board) right, follow the marked steep path through the wood and after about 800 m you reach the rope up place. Please rope you up there!

The route: Traversing to the first rope bridge, 35 m long (sigh bridge), beyond by steep forest area to the second rope bridge, 15 m long (Hangelbrigde), then further at very steep rock (Blake hole), to the closest place in the Clammy and with an daring jump (hole jump) on the other ravine side.

Now an uncommonly smooth and usually wet piece of wall (mirror) follows and over the water drop bridge, 30 m long, you arrives again at the other side of the Clammy. After traversing a strong karstsource, the steep ascent by the Karstquellenwand is following, after this you come into flatter forest area.

Over the mountain forest paste it goes into turns up, along pools and water fals (large and small bath tub, cascade) to the
over-hanging conclusion end (Gamsleckenwand).

That climbing-rise goes on the your right and over two overhangs, a long and airy transverse course and following
the Steilwandl you reaches the provisional door.

Over the last rope bridge, 15 m long (jungle bridge) you comes into the Schnitzhofwald and on a flat way, over the alm you reaches the Postalmstreet. Now either on the road after 300 meters to the right to the bus stop or straightforward to the cheese factory Schnitzhofalm (snack hut).
