The Kreuzberg crossing leads high above the Rhine Valley over 8 peaks with various climbing passages and ridge sections. It is long, challenging, varied and very rewarding. The maximum difficulty is 5b/5c and, as always, you will be well coached by us and secured from above. On request and by arrangement, we can spend the night in a bivouac the evening before so that you can start the tour straight away.
