Itinerary description

|
Show original
Right at the start of the day you can see the topper of today: the most famous dominant of the Bohemian Paradise: Trosky. 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 naturally offer great views.

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. There is a tourist hotel in the castle, but you can climb into the castle tower.
