Brief review about climbing possibilities in Czech Republic.
There are probably the best known sand stone areas in the Northern and Eastern Bohemia (the Czech Republic consists from two historical lands: Bohemia on the West and Moravia on the East).
The climbing is quite challenging there, some one would say dangerous. The rules are traditional and according to local conditions there is not easy to do modern sport (French like) routes.
There are however others excellent areas: limestone is not far from Prague, another one is around Moravian city Brno, there are more several good possibilities on granite crags and on other kind of firm rock.
