Description
Geologically and historically similar to Sächsische Schweiz, the climbing shares the same ethics and bold climbing. There are, however, also climbing on non-freestanding formations and some bolted routes with sport-climbing protection level (see Labské Údolí)
http://db-sandsteinklettern.gipfelbuch.de/gebiet.php?gebietid=2 hosts a extensive rock and route database with potentially life-saving hints (in German).
http://www.skalnioblasti.cz has similar information in Czech.

Nature protection
Check current restrictions before you visit crag and be respectful to the nature. Most crags are located in nature protected areas, climbing there is subject to the consent of nature protection authorities and compliance with the conditions set by them. 
Where to check:
Český horolezecký svaz - Czech Mountaineering Association: Ochrana přírody - Nature protection (czech)
Agentura ochrany přírody a krajiny ČR - Nature and Landscape Protection Agency of the Czech Republic: vyhledávač - search engine (czech)
Agentura ochrany přírody a krajiny ČR - Nature and Landscape Protection Agency of the Czech Republic: mapa - map (czech)

or you can directly ask Czech Mountaineering Association on email info@horosvaz.cz
Ethic
Check particular areas for more detailed rules and nature protecton restrictions. General czech sandstone rules apply in all areas:
Climbing is only allowed on dry rock.
No changing of the rock surface.
No hardware protection (friends, rocks, pitons). The gaps between the ring/bolts may only be filled with slings. UFOs (textile friends) are allowed.
No Toprope if it may damage rock or fixed protection (=in theory allowed if there is a maillon or if you use own quickdraw as anchor point AND there is no rope friction with rock)
First ascents shall be consulted upfront with the area administrator. Contacts available at https://www.horosvaz.cz/skaly-region-2/
Further local rules apply depending on the level of protection. See the particular area details.
History
First ascents are from 1888 - Pevnost and Lovecká Trubka, conquered by Carl Beck with Meuer brothers.
