Climbing at Teplice Rocks

2597 routes
20 areas
1–10 grades

The Teplice Rocks lie right next to Adršpach near Teplice nad Metují and together with it form the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks National Nature Reserve – protected since 1933, covering 17.12 km² and part of the Broumovsko PLA since 1991. While Adršpach is famous for cracks, Teplice is known mainly for face climbing on sandstone towers and walls.

The Čapí hřeben, Bišík and Bašta sectors are open from 1 May to 31 December, Kaňon, Skalní ostrov and Stráně only from 1 July; local closures for nesting birds also apply.

Part of East Bohemia, Teplice Rocks has 2597 routes documented on climbing.place. Routes range from grade 1 to 10. Explore its 20 crags and sectors below.
