Climbing 'Jízda zbrojnošů – Vrabinec' is a fantastic and accessible via ferrata experience located on the Vrabinec rock massif near Malá Skála in the Bohemian Paradise, Czech Republic. Graded B, it's considered an easy route, perfect for beginners, families, and those looking for a scenic introduction to via ferrata climbing. The route itself is relatively short but offers thrilling exposure without being overly demanding.

The highlight is undoubtedly the breathtaking views over the Jizera River winding through the valley below, and the surrounding sandstone rock formations.

The ascent is steady and enjoyable. The return path is straightforward, typically a well-marked walking trail that leads you back down to the base of the rock or the starting point. It's a pleasant descent, allowing you to reflect on the views you just experienced from above.
