Der Kegel Kletterturm

What can you experience at the Kegel climbing hall?

At the Kegel climbing hall in Berlin Friedrichshain, climbing enthusiasts will find an 18.70-meter high climbing tower, located on a former high-rise bunker, making it Berlin’s highest climbing wall. The hall combines indoor and outdoor climbing with over seventy routes of varying difficulty levels, which are regularly updated. In addition to rope climbing, athletes can also boulder – both in the 200 square meter indoor area and on the 325 square meter outdoor area. The climbing routes consist of a mixture of natural and artificial holds, which makes the Kegel unique. For beginners, there are taster sessions and basic courses, while advanced climbers can improve their belaying techniques. A special highlight is the summit book at the top of the tower, where everyone who has made it to the top and enjoyed the view of the East Side Gallery and the TV Tower can sign in. Admission is 7 Euros for adults, 5.50 Euros reduced, and children up to 12 years pay 4 Euros, making climbing in Berlin affordable.

What specials does Der Kegel offer?

Der Kegel offers more than just climbing and bouldering: For families and groups, there are special children’s birthday packages, where kids can climb with supervision and their own program. Parent-child climbing courses make it possible to discover the climbing world together. Individual packages with supervision are also offered for companies and larger groups to promote team building. A bar with snacks and drinks rounds off the stay, and there is also a cozy rooftop terrace where you can relax after climbing. Anyone who needs their own climbing equipment will find everything from climbing shoes to belay devices in the integrated Kegel shop. Training sessions with personal instruction are also available for climbing novices and advanced climbers.
