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. Sport climbing on vertical walls dominates, often in the sun, so it climbs well in the cooler months too. Check current restrictions with the Czech Mountaineering Association before visiting.
