📜 Discover the Via Ferrata Bechyně, a highly challenging D/E rated route in the Czech Republic.
🔍 This unique adventure features a demanding power traverse directly above the Lužnice river, requiring significant physical fitness and a return via the same path.

Why Go

💪 Experience one of Czechia's toughest D/E difficulty via ferratas.
🧗‍♀️ Navigate a unique power traverse, including a rope bridge, directly above the Lužnice river.
🏞️ Enjoy sections demanding extreme pulling force and horizontal body positions.
🏊‍♀️ Combine your visit with a swim at the open swimming pool in Bechyně during summer.

Why Avoid

⚠️ Only suitable for physically fit climbers due to its D/E difficulty and limited resting spots.
💧 Be prepared for potentially wet conditions if the river level is high, and slippery iron in wet weather.
🔄 It's a dead-end, bi-directional route, meaning you must return the same way and may encounter climbers going the opposite way.
