The climbing guide is the first (and only) to present the Elbe Valley on topos. The routes have detailed information on protection and true difficulty.Insiders have known it for many years: the Elbe walls have the hardest sandstone in the mountains and even surpass that of the Biella Valley. Lines run through the steep walls of the Elbe canyon, which are up to 80 meters high, that you would look for in vain on the German side. From the edge of the Elbe, you can already see the beautiful yellow, brown and black colors as well as the fantastic iron bands in the rocks.The rock world on the right bank of the Elbe, formerly known as a gravity climbing area, has now been enriched with many easier routes. Despite the significantly better protection compared to the German side, the Elbe valley is not a sport climbing area like the south of France, but here too it can take eight meters before the first bolts (or rings) appear. A few additional slings are therefore advisable. But then 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 just 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.384 pages language german / english edition 2025 G. Krug Verlag Geoquest - Warning: Increased shipping costs due to book weighing more than 1kg -
