Climbing at Ore Mountains

4048 routes
60 areas
1–12 grades

The Ore Mountains (Krušné hory) are a large climbing area along the Czech–German border. The range is about 150 km long and some 40 km wide, with Klínovec (1,244 m) as its highest peak. It is a fault-block range formed in the Variscan orogeny, built of gneiss and slate with intruded granite plutons and ore veins of iron, copper, tin, tungsten and silver; since 2019 the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region has been a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The largest crags include Skály na Jedláku, Hasištejnské skály, Telšské údolí, Kapucín – Liščí skály and Jánský vrch, and Strašidla, Skalní město u Stříbrné and Kočičí skály u Pyšné are also popular. Trad climbing dominates; there are sport crags on the German side of the range and plenty of bouldering too. For taller rocks, head for example to Perštejn in the Ohře valley. Check current restrictions with the Czech Mountaineering Association before visiting.
