In Novo Mesto, climbing is a popular sport and recreational activity suitable for both beginners and experienced climbers. The main organisers are the Climbing Club Novo Mesto and the Mountaineering Section Novo Mesto, which oversee the development of climbing in the region and offer training, climbing schools, and outdoor excursions.
Climbers can practice at the Frikšn Bouldering Centre in Košenice, a modern bouldering facility with various sectors, an overhang wall, and a children’s area, or at the Luknja climbing wall near Prečna, which provides opportunities for sport and recreational climbing in a natural environment. The climbing wall is also located in the Sports and Recreation Park at Loka in Novo Mesto.
The climbing centres and walls offer a combination of bouldering, sport climbing, training, and mountaineering activities, including organised outdoor trips. The climbing community in Novo Mesto provides professional guidance, well-maintained infrastructure, and opportunities for skill development for climbers of all levels.
