About this route
Cvičné skaly za Kremničkou is a short but varied practice route tucked into a small valley below Lišná skala, just behind the Kremnička district near Banská Bystrica. Graded A/B, it runs 73 m in total with roughly 53 m secured by cable across four segments, threading along a rock pillar, up a vertical chimney aided by ten steel rungs, and across a traverse on a rock shelf. With a ten-minute approach and only about twenty minutes of climbing, it sits at low altitude (around 421 m) and stays accessible most of the year in dry weather. Local climbing-club members built it precisely so visitors can practise moving on rock and test their gear, which makes it a friendly choice for beginners and families.
Highlights
- Vertical chimney with steel rungs
