V severovzhodnem delu češke zgodovinske pokrajine Bohemia najdemo izjemno zanimivo plezalno območje; Adršpach, Teplické skály in Ostaš. Predstavijo nam ga tamkajšnji plezalci Jitka in Luboš Mázl, Dušan Stoupa Janák in bratje Stráník, svoj pogled na plezanje v tem delu Češke pa strneta tudi tamkajšnji legendi Bohumil Sýkora in Tomáš Čada, ki sta v peščenjaku pustila izjemno sled in pisala njegovo plezalsko zgodovino.
