The Excalibur Climbing Wall is the tallest climbing wall not only in Europe but also in the world. It is the ultimate wall for any climbing enthusiast, as well as professionals. It is located in the Dutch town of Groningen and soars for almost 37 meters. Once up there, climbers can enjoy the breathtaking views of the old town from above. It also has an extreme curve at the top - one that resembles real rocks and what climbers might experience in nature.
The city and the others nearby offer many other walls for climbing but Excalibur Climbing Wall is definitely the one that attracts most people - locals and foreigners, experienced and inexperienced.
