Itinerary description

|
Show original
You walk from Hrubá Skála to the castle Valdštejn along countless rocky outcrops and rock groups and viewing platforms, so-called rock towns.

All rocks also have their own names: the Evening Tower, the Cat's Head, the Conductor and so on. And with a little imagination you will also find out why. To the gate of the gothic castle Valdštejn leads an imposing stone bridge with baroque statues of some Czech patron saints. This castle with its chapel was a busy pilgrimage place. Later the baroque castle was refurbished in a romantic style. Walking through the woods you come to the city Turnov. A town known as fairytale town where traditional jewelery with towed stones (grenades) are produced. They can also be viewed in the local museum.

You walk through the city to the castle Hrubý Rohozec, where, among other things, the living and clothing trends from the renaissance are exhibited. The castle park invites you to rest in the shade of ancient beech trees.

You walk to the station in Turnov where your car is parked and / or where you take the train to continue your journey elsewhere.
