Hiking and climbing the Czech mountains

Surrounded by a ring of mountains perfectly detectable even on satellite pictures, the Czech Republic is a paradise for mountain hikers. Do not expect wild Alpine summits covered with glaciers or via ferrata. Instead of those, charming wooded mountains, deep valleys, great observation points, or traditional architecture awaits you.
The Czech Republic is also famous for its rock climbing tradition – most popularly in challenging sandstone and limestone climbing areas.
