Area

This climbing area has become the most popular in Czech Republik during last couple years and certainly it deserves. The beautifull valley doesn't offer only first-rate climbing on a solid sandstone, but it offers as well a beutiful view to valley, where the river Elbe rules with a firm hand.
The very nice time is on a spring- the air is fresh and clean, all is green, on the river are there floating boats and the both sides of a river are decorated with a superb rocks formations. Like in every sandstone area in Czech Republic, also here you can hear an amaising story of climbers, who proved their courage and strong will for another new climbs, which they made from a bottom (according to sand`rules). The classic climbs are on the both sides of a river. These roads are protected with rings and for other protection you are allowed to use only slings. Because time is pasing by and the sport climbing has become very popular also here, so you find a many sport bolted hard roads there too. The sandstone offers a various type of climbing (edges, aretes, vertical technical climbing, chimneys , cracks......). All these climbs you can enrich with a peace of courage and concentration several meteres above a ring. It is up to you what do you search in climbing, sport experience or adventure. One things is for sure, the beer will taste you in any case.

Rocks: One of the most solid sandstone in Czech Republic. It is unique with overhangness and variability of climbing.

Type of climbing: Vetical, lightly overhang- edges, slopers, pockets.

Numbers of grates: There are around 4000 roads and every years are founding many others.

Position:The area is situated about 100 km nothern from capital city Prag where the river Elbe leaves Czech Republic. In the town Děčín you must decide whether you prefere to climb on the right side of the river or on the left side of the river. The right side is suitable at early spring, because at summer time there is too hot weather. The left side is more pleasent on summer time because the rocks are in deep forest, whereas during the spring time the rocks are quite wet. If you decide for right side of the river, you must drive the road No....direction to Hřensko (border with Germany) on the right bank. If you will follow this road and rich the night club Rio on the left side (8 km, there is a village Dolní Žleb over the river and ferry), ther you leave a car. Follow the path up a hill and you will get stright to a walls Zrcadlo and Trůn. To get on the other side you must také road No...from Děčín(follow the left side of the river, pass couple villages, enter Dolní Žleb and park by the church.)or you may get there from the right side by ferry, but it is unreliable.
