Hrubá SkálaGuest at the beginning of the day you can see the most famous dominant of the Bohemian Paradise: Trosky Castle. The route leads you to this castle ruin, which is protected as a national cultural monument.

The castle is built on two volcanic peaks and consists of two towers that dominate the entire area. The lowest and also the thickest is called Baba (Old woman) and the highest and the thinnest is called Panna (Virgo). The towers offer great views in one of the most beautiful areas of the Czech Republic!

From Trosky you descend to the pond Vidlák. Through the woods you come to the castle Hrubá Skála, in his surroundings are many sandstone rocks that are so typical of this area. The castle Hrubá Skála is built on rock plateaus and unlike in the past you no longer have to walk over a bridge to reach the courtyard. You can climb the castle tower to finish this day and with a bit of luck enjoy a beautiful sunset in this romantic setting.

You stay in this castle. In case of insufficient capacity, we will travel to Hotel Štekl.
