The rocks around Český Krumlov are scattered over the hills and valleys around the town – Domoradické skály, the rocks opposite Dívčí kámen, Kleť, Barevná skála, Rájov, Havraní skála and Ktiš. The climbing is mostly traditional, mixing fixed protection with your own cams; the crags are mostly in the forest and often in the shade, so they climb well on warm days too.
