Rules
- Climbing is only possible in places and periods specified by a generally binding measure from 2020. - To access the rocks, it is necessary to use marked access paths and, in quiet areas, mountaineering routes. - The obligation to comply with the "Rules for climbing in sandstone rock areas in Bohemia" applies. The use of magnesium is prohibited. - First ascents are only possible with the prior permission of the National Park Administration, coordinated by OVK Labské pískovce. See the minutes of the meeting with NPČŠ from 3.12. 2021, including the list, for the current proposal to limit first ascents.

Nature Conservation: Climbing prohibited from 1.2. to 30.6. Nature Conservation Document: NPČŠ_OOP_climbing 2020 and a list of permitted objects, Nature Conservation Authority Administration of NP Czech Switzerland

Inside the national park you may climb only on permitted rocks.

The park administration announces seasonal access bans each year for sites with nesting birds. Some towers are closed permanently (the "Jetřichovice – zakázané" sector). Check the ČHS crag database and the park administration's website before every visit.

The ČHS rules for climbing in Bohemian sandstone areas apply.

  • Chalk is banned.
  • No metal protection (cams, nuts, pitons) – only slings, knots and textile "UFOs" between the rings.
  • Climb on dry rock only – wet sandstone softens and breaks.
  • Do not alter the rock surface.
  • Abseil from the summit rings.

Parts of the area lie in Bohemian Switzerland National Park and the Elbe Sandstones Protected Landscape Area, where seasonal closures for nesting birds apply. Check the ČHS crag database before you go.
