Klettern am Beton
Explore Berlin's unique climbing culture on World War II concrete walls.
SOLD OUTOverview
Klettern am Beton, literally "climbing on concrete", this is the experience that we propose. Inspired by a publication ("Am Beton") by three german climbers (Veit Althoff, Jonas Jägermeyr and Christian Wahle), this experience combines underground culture, urbex and climbing in one of the most vibrant cities in the world: Berlin. As a flat city, Berlin may not seem like an obvious hub for climbing culture, but in recent years it has emerged as a thriving scene for bouldering and rock climbing enthusiasts, with several indoor and outdoor climbing facilities available for enthusiasts. Outdoor climbing is particularly exciting in Berlin, as the city has a number of abandoned buildings and structures that provide unique and challenging climbing opportunities. Indeed, you'll have the opportunity to climb World War II bunkers. These abandoned structures provide a unique and challenging climbing experience that you won't find anywhere else in the world...

Schedule
You can choose whether you want to climb for two days or only one. Here below you can find the high level program. We'll also leave some time to explore some off the beaten track and underground attractions. One such attraction is the abandoned Spreepark, a former East German amusement park that has been left to decay since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Another lesser-known landmark is Teufelsberg, a man-made hill constructed from the rubble of World War II and topped with a former US listening station, offering breathtaking views of the city. For those interested in street art, the East Side Gallery offers an impressive collection of murals painted on a section of the Berlin Wall. The Mauerpark Flea Market, held every Sunday, is another popular spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a range of vintage and handmade goods, food, and live music. Exploring these off the beaten track and underground landmarks offers a glimpse into a different side of Berlin and allows visitors to experience the city's unique and diverse culture.
