České Švýcarsko National Park – climbers’ paradise in Czech republic
Czech or Bohemian Switzerland (Czech: České Švýcarsko) is often called climbers’ paradise. If you overcome fear and decide to climb even a small rock you are certainly going to experience unforgettable feelings. But do not try climbing of your own accord. Rather address the local climbing club, where they are ready to help you.
Bohemian Switzerland not only offers the marvellous natural beauty of the National Park and the opportunity to set your mind at ease while there, but also the chance to experience adventures that you will never forget.
Bohemian Switzerland is located in the north-western Czech Republic. It lies on the Czech side of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains north of Děčín on both sides of the Elbe River. It extends eastward into the Lusatian Mountains and westward into the Ore Mountains. Its highest elevation is the mountain Děčínský Sněžník at 726m above sea level. It has been a protected area (as ChKO Labske Piskovce) since 1972.
The region along the right side of the Elbe became a national park on January 1, 2000, the České Švýcarsko National Park. The National Park is adjacent to the Saxon Switzerland National Park (Sächsische Schweiz) in Germany.
