Symbolický hřbitov horolezců, Climbing memorial in Hruboskalsko, Czech Republic

The memorial features a sandstone wall named Nekonečná věž with an inscription field measuring 200 centimeters high and 500 centimeters wide.

The memorial project originated in the 1960s through climber Valerián Karoušek, who later died during an expedition in Peru in 1970.

Over 130 names of climbers who lost their lives during mountaineering activities are inscribed on bronze plaques attached to the sandstone rock.

The memorial site is accessible via a yellow-marked hiking trail leading from Sedmihorky spa springs to Hrubá Skála castle.

Every December 24th, a religious service takes place at the memorial to honor the memory of deceased climbers from the Czech Paradise region.
