Climbing inside a museum, in Ostrava
A place where climbing meets industry and former factories, where today's leisure meets yesterday's labour: welcome to Ostrava!
One of Europe's most important coal-mining and metallurgical centers in the past, Ostrava is nowadays a cultural center, home to two universities, a big music festival - Colors of Ostrava and climbing... inside a museum!
The Mining Museum in Ostrava
Located in the Czech Republic - the paradise of sandstone climbing - Ostrava hosts an indoor climbing gym, inside its most famous museum: The Mining Museum.
Entering the former coal mine, the climber inside each one of us will be amazed by the impressive steel structures that were once filled with tons burning-hot charcoal. Today, people just walk around, drinking a coffee in the thematic cafes, exploring the mine or... doing some climbing.
