Description

Liljendal is one of the "old school" places which have been discovered already many years ago. The high quality of routes in many different grades makes it a great place to visit for all the boulderers.

🧗‍♀️
The climbing style in Liljendal is crimpy with quite many edges and aretes to traverse on. The rock is quite rough and many blocks are higher than it might seem in the pictures. Due to this it's a good idea to take few pads and friends with you if you want to try the higher problems. The landings are in general rather good.

As some of the routes are not climbed that frequently it's a good idea to take a steel brush with you if possible.

🚶‍♂️
The approach is short and easy and all the boulders are concentrated in a rather small area. The area is also suitable for families with kids.

Few kilometeres away from the blocks there's a nice beach, called Taikaranta, where you can cool off after the climbing! If yours kin is gone completely, but you're not ready to return home, you can always try your luck throwing frisbees on the frisbeegolf field just 500m away.
