Košíře is a separate area between the Prague parts of Košíře and Kotlářek. The fractured quartz rock is hidden in the forest only a few tens of meters from the Kotlářka tram stop. The area is very poorly secured. This is mainly due to the extreme brittleness of the rock. It often peels off or breaks off in large pieces and falls on the circuit breakers. A helmet is a must in this area! At the top of the rock (accessible from all sides), however, belaying can be done on the top rope around the trees and on selected routes the highest bolt can be reached. Most of the roads are made for traditional belaying with the help of wedges.

The Košíř climbing area can be reached from three main directions - from the south, west and east.

South access road is the most used. It runs from tram stops. The climber goes from the last stop of the tram to the forest on foot. There are several paths that lead to it. We recommend the path opposite the crossing (GPS: 50°04'12.1″N 14°21'43.5″E). In the forest, we go left and follow the footpath for about a hundred meters to the rock.

Western access road it is very similar and leads from bus stops. It is also suitable for those who come by car to U Kotlářky and Svátkova streets. Access here is also very easy. It is only necessary to go to the place where the road turns from Pod Kotlářkou Street and take the forest path at these coordinates: 50°04'13.1″N 14°21'41.0″E. This footpath connects to the one from the previous approach.

Eastern approach is the least used. It leads from the other part of the forest from the street U Klikovky a paintball field and the Řízkárna restaurant. A footpath through the forest leads to the top of the rock. The footpath starts at the end of U Klikovka street and immediately divides into two. To get to the Košíře climbing area, we have to go left and then left again at the next fork in the road. Then along the way we arrive at the top of the rock.
