Climbing Lakatnik again (Alpine Meadow)
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011Climbing Lakatnik
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011I can not believe how bad I have been in updating the blog recently. Well, I am still in Bulgaria, thinking of staying here for a while even though the winter probably will arrive within some month(s). Right now the weather is amazing and yesterday I was relaxing on our roof terrass in only a t-shirt, with weather that could trick anybody that it was still summer.
One of the best things with Sofia is how near it is to the mountains. It’s a very nice feeling to be able to see the mountains from the city, and knowing that it takes less then an hour with a car to reach amazing nature with possibilities for trekking, climbing, caving and much more.
Last Sunday I went with some local climber friends to Lakatnik. I had been trekking in the area before but this was my first climbing there. As usual, the autumn scenery was really beautiful and the unplanned detour we managed to take on the way there was just added pleasure.

Climbing in Berlin
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011Climbing is getting more and more popular in Berlin and I managed quickly to find some climbers here to go and climb with. Below are a list of some of the places in Berlin where you can do indoor climbing:
Der Kegel
Address: Revaler Straße 99
Type: Rope (outdoor) / Bouldering (outdoor & indoor)
Price: 4 euro
Web: www.derkegel.de
Magic Mountain Kletterhallen
Address: GmbH Böttgerstraße 20-26
Type: Rope (outdoor & indoor) / Bouldering (indoor)
Price: 14 euro
Web: www.magicmountain.de
Ostbloc
Address: Hauptstrasse 13
Type: Bouldering (indoor)
Price: 8½ euro
Web: www.ostbloc.de
T-Hall Berlin
Address: Thiemannstr. 1
Type: Rope (indoor) / Bouldering (indoor)
Price: 9 – 12½ euro
Web: www.diekletterhalle.de
Prices are not including climbing equipment and it is recommended that you have your own, as not all climbing halls rent out equipment. Also, if you have your own climbing shoes you can go bouldering for free in the parks Volkspark Friedrichshain or Mauerpark.
Because there are no natural rocks in Berlin all the climbing places here are either old buildings you climb on, or normal handmade climbing walls.
