The best way to get that crag is to leave the car on the parking just outside Berdorf, it's easy to find it, another possibility is to take B2 path ( it's a loop around Berdorf ) and it's about 2 km up to the crag.
Despite of that there are a lot of rocks, only one area named Wanterbaach is permitted to climb, the routes are 5 up to 36 meters high, and are well equiped. The rocks are made of sandstone, so you should take a toothbrush and clean up the magnesium after you finish. Bear in mind that this is protected area so you should behave like in national park.
