The Middle Vltava is the largest climbing sub-area of Prague and Central Bohemia. Crags and quarries line the valley of the Vltava and its tributaries – the largest are Roviště, Skály u Velké and Lomy nad Velkou, followed by Mařenka, Skály u Pakosty, Kamýk, Žebrákov, Zvírotice, Solenice and Hříměždice.
