It all started in 2006, with two founders, a dog, a passion for climbing and a promising idea. With these simple ingredients, Bergfreunde.de, an online dealer for mountaineering equipment, was born and set up shop on the site of a former textile factory in Kirchentellinsfurt near Tübingen. Over the years, we have managed to stay true to this concept and have become one of Europe`s leading online mountain sports retailers.
