Almost 320 wooden and stone steps connect parking lot in Kokorín Valley with rocky formation called Mšenské poklicky (Mšeno "pot-lids") hidden in forests near Mšeno townlet in Melník county.
The outdoor stairway is 200 meters long section of blue-marked touristic trail called "Droužkovská cesta" connecting Kokorín valley with Mšeno via Mšeno "Pot-Lids". The elevation difference between the first and the last step of this stairway is 53 meters.
Poklicky are located above the Kokorín valley (Kokorínský dul) in the nature reserve of the same name, at the mouth of the gorge called Mocidla, between the settlement of Vojtechov and the solitude of Hlucov. The top plates, lids, are made of ferrous coarse-grained sandstones and conglomerates, sometimes over a meter thick, which cover irregular truncated cones of softer sandstones joined by kaolin sealant. The largest lid has dimensions of approximately 6 × 5 × 1.5 m, the height of this formation is about 12 m.
