After Raiza now Tyssa!It is about 115 years ago that the climbing development began in the most famous rock town of Bohemian Switzerland. Since that time, there has been a steady increase in developed climbing crags, so that a recent revision of the individual climbing areas and the publication of a revised climbing guidebook was long overdue. In this volume, one can now find information on 1,939 ascent descriptions at 208 climbing destinations.The completely colored climbing guide offers numerous innovations: all climbing crags are presented by means of ascent sketches, some also with topo sketches. In addition, this time a clear distinction is made between the Saxon and Czech difficulty scales. Helpful are also the pictograms describing the characteristics of individual rocks.

Previously regarded as the little brother of the well-known Sněžník bouldering area and therefore less frequently visited, the Modřín bouldering area has developed into a noticeable “competitor”. Located just 3 km from Sněžník, above the village of Kamenec, Modřín / Modrin now welcomes visitors with  1068 boulder problems of all levels of difficulty. The sandstone of Modřín is very suitable for bouldering as it is particularly hard. The 305 bouldering rocks are spread over 7 sectors and are located below the sandstone cliffs, which are visible from afar and are up to 40 m high. The bouldering guide bears the signature of local Ondřej Beneš and is therefore similar to the Sněžník guide in terms of structure and layout. Only the weight and number of pages are lower.264 pagesLanguage Czech / EnglishEdition 2024O. Beneš

Climbing Guide Elbtal 2, Left Side - Geoquest author Gerald Krug provides detailed descriptions of all worthwhile routes on the left side of the Elbe Valley – i.e., around Dolní Žleb (Niedergrund). This climbing guide is the first (and only) one to feature the Elbe Valley on topos. The routes include detailed information on safety and actual difficulty.Insiders have known for many years that the Elbe walls have the hardest sandstone in the mountains, surpassing even that of the Bielatal. Lines run through the steep walls of the Elbe canyon, which are up to 80 meters high, that you would search for in vain on the German side. From the Elbe beach, you can already see the beautiful yellow, brown, and black colors as well as the fantastic iron bands in the rocks.The rock world above the Elbe, formerly known as a difficult climbing area, has now been enriched with many easier routes. Despite the significantly better safety measures compared to the German side, the Elbe Valley is not a sport climbing area like southern France, but even here it can take eight meters before the first piton (or ring) appears. Therefore, a few additional slings are advisable. However, many routes are secured quite regularly, so that nothing stands in the way of high and highest achievements.In the Elbe Valley, however, it is not only the solid rock, the view of the Elbe, and the beautiful routes that make climbing here so special. It is also the final visit to the Bohemian pub with its excellent beer and delicious goulash that brings us closer to Czech hospitality. Well then: Ahoj! Na shledanou in the Elbe Valley.352 pageslanguage german / englishedition 2025G. KrugPublisher Geoquest

The Bielatal climbing guide is part of the six-volume guide series Saxon Switzerland from the mountain and nature publisher Peter Rölke. This volume describes 249 peaks with 4027 ascents. These climbing destinations are located in the Bielatal. The Bielatal with its peaks is the richest climbing area within Saxon Switzerland. The bizarre rock towers of the valley consist of very solid labiatussandstone, which is strikingly horizontally banded. Thus one has many sharp ledges as footholds and handholds. 4 detailed site plans, on which all peaks are recorded and depicted, help to find the climbing destinations in this region. On 19 climbing sketches 83 peaks are recorded and on 3 topos 4 peaks are shown. Dark blue rubberized cover Area: Saxon Switzerland is a national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony Rock: sandstone Difficulties: wide choice of routes in all grades - up to XI (saxon grade) Number of routes: 4027 routes Protection: trad climbing Season: spring, summer, fall 352 pages Language: German edition 2015 Team of Authors Berg- und NaturVerlag Peter Rölke
