These are the most beautiful boulders in the Murg Valley

The murgtal in the canton of St. Gallen offers boulder problems for beginners and professionals alike via 700. We have the publisher of the Bouldering Guide, Silvan Dermont, asked for the most beautiful lines in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth difficulty level (Fb). Photographer Lukas Ptak recommended two more beads for the list.
