geography
location
The stone wall rises in the Hessian Rhön Nature Park and in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve . It is located directly southwest of the village of Steinwand , a northern part of the Poppenhausen on the Fulda tributary Lütter . 1.25 km southwest of the stone wall is flowed around by the Haune inflow Wanne , and 1.05 km northeast is the muzzle , the southwestern branch of which is the stone wall.
In the Steinwand region in the Wannetal, the Dipperz - Hilders section of the federal road 458 is laid out roughly in a west-east direction, while the Wolferts- Poppenhausen section of the Hochrhönring runs east past the rock face in a north-south direction .
Parts of the Hessian Rhön landscape protection area ( CDDA no. 378477; designated 1967; 410.1096 km² in size) and the Hessian Rhön bird sanctuary (VSG no. 5425-401; 360.8013 km²) are located on the stone wall .
Natural allocation
The stone wall belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Osthessisches Bergland (No. 35), in the main unit Vorder- und Kuppenrhön (with ridge) (353) and in the sub-unit Kuppenrhön (353.2) to the natural area Milseburger Kuppenrhön (353.21). To the west, the landscape leads over to the subunit Western Rhön foreland (353.1).
Climb
On the stone wall and the two smaller rocks to the south of it, Teufelskanzel and Hintere Steinwand, there are around 100 climbing routes of difficulty levels II to VIII ( UIAA scale).
This makes the Steinwand one of the most important climbing areas in Hesse and the only one in the entire Rhön since the climbing routes on the Milseburg were closed due to a nature reserve . Most of the climbing routes are well secured with Bühler hooks , but some wedges can / should be used as well.
The use of magnesia is prohibited for nature conservation reasons .
