Stuntwerk is a climbing gym that focuses on bouldering, which is climbing without ropes or harnesses to a maximum height of 6m. Even the 6m height was a bit scary for me at first, but the fear went away with training. What also made it easier to learn was that I booked an introductory course the first time I went. Stuntwerk also offers the opportunity to book individual or group coaching. What I really like about Stuntwerk is that there is a lot of space, the routes change every week, and there are eight difficulty levels, from easy to difficult.
Along with bouldering, Stuntwerk also offers parkour and ninja warrior training, as well as fitness and yoga classes. I used to go on the Ashtanga yoga course, and I really enjoyed it. Stuntwerk also hires out rooms for private events. Last but not least, they have a small café that sells drinks and snacks (both sweet and savoury). For a proper meal, you can try the restaurant Offenbach am CARLsGARTEN just across the street, and nearby is Keupstrasse, a street where you can find excellent Turkish food. Hanimeli Backstube, for example, serves a huge Turkish breakfast.
