Climbing at 6. Elbe Valley – right bank

4366 routes
25 areas
2–11- grades

The right bank of the Elbe Valley ("Labák") covers the tall sandstone walls and towers along the Elbe and its side valleys between Děčín and Hřensko. With more than 4,300 routes it is the largest sub-area of the Elbe Sandstones on climbing.place. Alongside classic sandstone routes, many sport lines with glue-in bolts have been added, and the valley is now one of the most sought-after sport areas in the Czech Republic.

Part of Elbe Sandstones, 6. Elbe Valley – right bank has 4366 routes documented on climbing.place. Routes range from grade 2 to 11-. Explore its 25 crags and sectors below.

Common styles: Rock Climbing, Fixed belay, Textile belay, Vertical wall, Route on sun.

Rules

  • Climb in daylight only.
  • Top-rope only where it will not damage the rock or fixed gear (own quickdraw as anchor, no rope friction on the rock).
  • Jumps between towers are not allowed.
  • First ascents only with the area administrator's approval (right bank: spravce-labak-pravy@seznam.cz).
  • Unapproved fixed equipment is banned.

Some crags are closed from 1 February to 30 June for nesting birds. Respect local signs and any extended closures; current status in the ČHS crag database.

The ČHS rules for climbing in Bohemian sandstone areas apply.

  • Chalk is banned.
  • No metal protection (cams, nuts, pitons) – only slings, knots and textile "UFOs" between the rings.
  • Climb on dry rock only – wet sandstone softens and breaks.
  • Do not alter the rock surface.
  • Abseil from the summit rings.

Parts of the area lie in Bohemian Switzerland National Park and the Elbe Sandstones Protected Landscape Area, where seasonal closures for nesting birds apply. Check the ČHS crag database before you go.
