Advanced via ferrata course (overhang climbing)
The course is designed for advanced climbers; terms must be agreed upon in advance. Number of participants as agreed, typically 1–3. Throughout the climb, you will enjoy 100% mental and physical support from the instructor.
What exactly the course includes:
- Equipment briefing: instruction on clothing and via ferrata harness.
- Movement basics: instruction on moving along via ferratas.
- Active climb: via ferrata ascent at the agreed time and length according to your strength.
- Equipment included: rental of a via ferrata set with a shock absorber included, including a helmet.
- Interesting facts: information about the history and origins of via ferratas.
- Escort: presence of an instructor throughout the entire course.
Note on gloves: For hygiene reasons, climbing gloves are not rented out. If you don’t have your own, we sell brand new professional gloves directly on-site (we have them in the car) starting from 500 CZK / pair.
Safety restrictions: good health is required for participation; all restrictions must be consulted. Climbing is not possible during
pregnancy. Weight under 42kg and weight over 110kg (including overweight) must be consulted.
Our priority is that you don’t have to carry any complex technical gear. We will lend you all certified equipment directly on-site; just come in sportswear.
Safety on the rock is an absolute standard for us. Participation must be booked and confirmed in advance, and don’t be afraid to call even 5 minutes before the start 🙂

Practical Information
You can park in several places:
If you arrived by car and only plan on climbing, you will surely appreciate the Pastýřská stěna Restaurant, where you can reward yourself properly.
If you arrived by bike, it's definitely worth visiting the Děčín Kocanda Restaurant, located directly on the Elbe Cycle Path just 5 minutes from the city center. Kocanda also boasts a large children's playground that no other nearby can compete with.
If you're planning a longer stay or are from far away, don't hesitate to book a room here as well, as Kocanda is a good starting point for many other trips.
