Rock-climbers
in the Prachov rocks

Rock-climbers have liked the Prachov rocks for more than a hundred years.

The first climbers were probably German ones from the Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland area. One of the towers is named after them -The Dresden Tower - Drážďanská věž. A group of students of Jičín grammar school founded a rock climbing club in 1907 called Climbing Club Prachov. It performed the first recorded climbs of Czech climbers on rock towers. To commemorate this, there is a Czech flag placed on the top of Praying Rocks (also called the Hand or the Monk) The climbing club is still active and its members are among the top of Czech alpinism. During the 100th anniversary of the first recorded ascend, climbers using historical tools and wearing historical costumes climbed the Praying Rocks in 2007.
