Ever since Bernd Zangerl started to climb he has been searching for the perfect line. In Rakchham he was once again hoping to find it. What he discovered was even better than that.
For climbers, Rakchham is a playground with endless possibilities. Together with his friends, Bernd has established hundreds of boulder-problems in the magical forests around the village.
In the last years Bernd´s desire to make his personal „Shangri-la“ also accessible for other climbers grew. For him, it was clear that this can only work in respectful cooperation with the people who have been living here for thousands of years. Only if they have all the threads run through their hands can this project be a successful one.
