Tips for Trips
We are located in the village of Adršpach, home to the entrance to the Adršpach Rock City, as well as the nearby Cross Hill (1 km away) and the ruins of Adršpach Castle. This location is highly popular among tourists.
Adršpach Rocks
The Adršpach Rocks are approximately 150 million years old. From a geological perspective, this relatively young age explains the unusually sharp and relatively unweathered peaks of the local rock formations. These so-called "rock towns" are characterized by a large number of unusually narrow and tall rock formations resembling towers. The beautiful Metuje River originates in this region and flows into the Elbe River just a few dozen kilometers further downstream.
Teplice Rocks
The most famous tourist trail through the Teplice Rocks area is 6 km long and is more physically demanding compared to the trail in the Adršpach Rocks. You can enter the rocks at the edge of the town of Teplice nad Metují. Another way to access the Teplice Rocks is by crossing from the Adršpach Rocks through the Wolf Gorge (Vlčí rokle). The path through Wolf Gorge connecting the two rock towns is 4 km long, and if you decide to take it, be prepared for some elevation changes.
Broumov
The Monastery of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a Benedictine monastery located in the small town of Broumov. Founded in 1256, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can admire its beautiful Baroque and Gothic architecture, richly decorated interiors, including frescoes, sculptures, and other works of art. The monastery also features exhibitions on the history of the Benedictine order, book culture, and the production of brewery products, which are still made on-site.
Polsko
From Adršpach, it's just a short distance to neighboring Poland. Here, you can explore many interesting places, such as Karpacz, Książ Castle, various water parks, and much more.
Ratibořice
Ratibořice is a picturesque village located in the region known as Grandmother's Valley (Babiččino údolí). It is best known for its association with the writer Božena Němcová, who lived here and wrote her famous work The Grandmother (Babička).
ZOO Dvůr Králové
Also visit the zoo in Dvůr Králové nad Labem, where you can see many African animals, including lions, elephants, and giraffes. You can enhance your experience with a safari tour, driving among African wildlife in your own car or taking the safari bus.
