Directly on the shore of Lake Lucerne is this 120 m high limestone slab, a great training ground for lovers of friction climbing. On the two short, steep routes on the eastern boundary wall, finger power is also in high demand. For children and beginners, there are a dozen short routes on the left-hand bastion with spits close together, suitable for practising lead climbing. The climbing here is best visited in summer, because it is north exposed and in the shade on the longest days of the year until around noon. In the afternoon you can cool down in the small artificial harbour; also for children there is safe swimming.

- Protection / Material
-
The quality of the bolting is mostly good, though there is need for renovation. Attention: does not apply to routes 11 - 14, these have not yet been restored / are in need of re-bolting!
In particular, the routes in the middle of the wall (R5-R8) are to be critically examined because they are endangered by falling rocks (route names e.g. "Wild" and "Abbruchkante").
- Climbing for Kids
-
In particular, the short routes to the left part of the crag have very closely spaced protection and are ideal for children to practice their leading.
- Descent
-
After the two long routes in the left part of the wall which top out, keep left on the trail and return back to the east of the climbing garden. All other routes are set up for abseiling. If you do not want to descend on foot, it is better to take a double rope for the longer routes (especially No. 9 and No. 10).
