Right at Hellersdorf underground station

Klettermax sits at Stendaler Strasse 21, immediately at Hellersdorf station near the eastern end of the U5, which makes the hall reachable from the whole east of the city without changing. Around it lies Helle Mitte, the centre of the district, where shops, restaurants and a cinema come together, and the way from the platform to the door is short enough for a group of first-graders to manage without complaint. The hall is run by Alpinista Berlin GmbH, which also operates a second and considerably larger climbing hall in Berlin. This site opened in November 2023, and the concept differs from a classic climbing gym: it is not about routes on a wall but about a course of obstacles that children can start on with no experience at all. Above the arena is a stand with snacks and drinks from which parents can watch everything, while the celebrating happens in tree houses of their own. There are offers for school classes, groups and companies as well.

Thirty routes, blacklight and automatic belaying

The climbing arena at Klettermax covers four hundred and fifty square metres across two worlds with thirty routes and two hundred and twenty-five metres of climbing in total. The elements run from a magic cube to a skater wall and a spider web, joined by a blacklight section and a speed wall where two children race each other directly. The decisive point for parents is the fully automatic belay system on a lock and key principle: nobody has to stand below and hold the rope. Climbing is possible from five years, up to twelve accompanied by someone aged sixteen or over, and one adult can supervise up to five children. Three birthday packages apply as flat rates for up to six climbers, with a surcharge for every further child. The smallest brings ninety minutes of climbing including equipment, instruction, gloves and slush ice for 150 euros, while the largest covers two and a half hours with an hour in the tree house, unlimited drinks and a pizza each for 210 euros. Closed climbing gloves and clean sports shoes with a light sole are required, or anti-slip socks; both are available on site.
