Icefall in Pohoř, Rock formation in Pohoř, Czech Republic.
The Icefall in Pohoř is a rock formation featuring sheer vertical walls within a narrow canyon that creates a natural passage through the landscape. The gorge is cut deep into the terrain, with steep sides that form a striking corridor.
The rock walls formed gradually through water erosion as a river cut through the stone over many centuries. This slow geological process sculpted the gorge into its present shape.
Local climbing enthusiasts maintain three established routes on the rock face, graded between 6c+ to 7b+, contributing to the regional climbing traditions.
The path follows a trail along the riverbed through the canyon, taking about twenty minutes from the starting point to reach the formation. Sturdy footwear is recommended as the ground can be slippery, especially when wet.
The narrow gorge remains shaded throughout the entire day, creating consistent climbing conditions regardless of the time. This constant cool and indirect light has made the spot attractive to rock climbers.
