Description

“Road of Flowers” is one of the most popular and historically significant routes at Broken Rocks.
With a total length of about 100 m and three pitches, it offers gentle and continuous climbing on compact slabs and ramps of excellent rock quality.
The line follows a natural weakness in the wall, providing enjoyable movement and excellent views throughout the climb.
Difficulty is consistent around 5a, and protection is reliable — bolts are well-placed at all key sections.
