Some of the Czech Republic's most rugged and dramatic formations are the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks (Adršpašsko-Teplické skály), hidden away in the Broumov highlands (Broumovská vrchovina), a protrusion of East Bohemia that juts into Poland.
There are a number of entrances into the trails including the one posted in the village of Adrspach, which is close to the main road and train station. The hike will take you into concealed natural cloisters, ringed by spectacular sandstone rocks with imaginative monikers like ‘Giant’s Armchair’ and ‘Sugar Cone’, amid a soft carpet of sand and pine needles. Well-marked paths lead through luscious pine forests and spectacular valleys.
There are two clusters of formations: Adršpach Rock Town (Adršpašské skalní mesto) and Teplice Rock Town (Teplické skalní mesto). They now comprise a single state nature reserve, 15km east of Trutnov.
At each ‘rock town’ you pay 50/20Kc (adult/concession) admission. The tourist office at Adršpach can supply the excellent Adršpašské skály Teplické skály (1:16, 000) trail map.
