Bouldering on Sneznik

Every bouldering enthusiast who visits Sneznik will appreciate the variety and size of the local bouldering scene. In the shadow of the oldest stone watchtower in Bohemia there are hundreds of rocks that cry out for a climb.

Thanks to its location and local weather patterns, climbing is possible here relatively soon after a rainfall. Because there are so many demanding boulders here, climbing with magnesium is tolerated (although technically prohibited).

Sectors

The Sneznik area is so large that it offers several separate sectors. There is a large area beyond Sneznik called East Side, that has been discovered by climbers only recently. You’ll find around 450 bouldering problems in East Sidu.
