HeartGold & SoulSilver Route 47

Jasmine's cure for Amphy is what unlocks this new cliff road west of Cianwood. It climbs to the Safari Zone, with a lower fork hiding the Embedded Tower.

Route 47 is in Johto, with Route 48 to the north and Embedded Tower to the east. In the story you arrive from Cliff Edge Gate to the south and continue west to Cliff Cave.

ROUTE 47 MAP

Route 47 terraces down the cliffs west of Cianwood across three levels, Surf along its sea and Waterfall to climb between them, with a Rock Climb wall guarding an optional side path.
