Adršpach-Teplice Rocks
Adršpašsko-teplické skály
One of Central Europe's largest sandstone rock cities, with hundreds of pillars rising up to 100 metres, narrow crevices and emerald-green lakes you can explore by small boat.
Adršpach-Teplice Rocks is a national nature reserve where sandstone pillars stand in dense clusters. Rock formations bear nicknames such as “The Lovers,” “The Sugar Lumps” and “The Mayor and the Mayoress.” The Adršpach loop trail is about 3.5 km and takes 1.5 to 2 hours. It passes the Gothic Gate, small waterfalls and emerald-green lakes hidden among the rock walls, where you can take a small boat out on the water for an extra fee. Fit hikers can continue through Wolf Gorge to reach the Teplice Rocks, a total route of about 4 to 5 hours that includes wooden ladders and narrow crevices. The entrance is next to Adršpach railway station. Tickets are required, and during peak season you should book a timed slot in advance on the official website. It is about 40 km from the eastern foothills of the Krkonoše and roughly one hour's drive.
