Via ferrata Vodní brána, Via ferrata climbing route in Chuchelna, Czech Republic
Via ferrata Vodní brána is a climbing facility in Chuchelna offering three distinct routes marked by different colors. Blue serves beginners, red suits intermediate climbers, and purple challenges those with more experience.
The site was established in 2013 as the first official via ferrata in the Czech Republic. It set standards that influenced how climbing routes were developed across the country.
Local climbing traditions include a registry box at the summit where participants document their ascents and share experiences with fellow mountaineers.
The site requires safety equipment including a climbing harness, helmet, and via ferrata set, which can be rented at the Semily information center. Visitors should check conditions before climbing and ensure all equipment is properly secured.
The purple route stands out as the most demanding of the three paths, offering experienced climbers an extended challenge. It was specifically designed for those with advanced skills in rock climbing.
