The Tábor region is the most important climbing area in South Bohemia. The crags lie mainly in the canyon-like Lužnice valley below Tábor and further downstream towards Bechyně and at Židova strouha; other spots include Choustník, the U mamuta rocks, the Blue Quarry, Jelení skok, Dopolední skály and Bechyně – Pod Duhou. The Lužnice valley is one of the most popular climbing spots in South Bohemia and suits experienced climbers and complete beginners alike.
Above the Lužnice, from the pilgrimage church in Klokoty towards the Harrachovka restaurant, runs the Tábor via ferrata – secured with a steel cable, graded B/C and described as the first via ferrata built in the Czech Republic. On the crags there are both sport and trad routes, with overhangs in places. The season runs from spring to autumn; Tábor and Bechyně are easy to reach by car or train, and local mountain guides offer beginner trips with gear provided.
