You step out of the coach into a canyon of stone—the cliffs rise like stacked pages, narrow alleys of rock daring you to choose a path. A spray of cool air moves through the gorges and the rocks seem to lean in, as if eavesdropping on every conversation. This is Adršpach-Teplice Rocks, the labyrinth where filmmakers framed scenes for The Chronicles of Narnia.

You step out of the coach into a canyon of stone—the cliffs rise like stacked pages, narrow alleys of rock daring you to choose a path. A spray of cool air moves through the gorges and the rocks seem to lean in, as if eavesdropping on every conversation. This is Adršpach-Teplice Rocks, the labyrinth where filmmakers framed scenes for The Chronicles of Narnia.
Formed by millennia of wind and water, the sandstone pillars here stand sculpted and mottled; names like "Sugar Loaf" and "Lovers" point to shapes locals and visitors have long given voice. Goethe visited in 1790 and wrote of the place’s uncanny energy; later the area became a protected national nature reserve where humans trace a careful route through fragile geology and rare microhabitats.
The route follows marked trails and wooden walkways through narrow gorges, past a small waterfall and a placid rock lake. Expect 6–8 hours for a full excursion including transit from Wrocław, and moderate effort on uneven steps, ladders and packed dirt. Local culture leans rural—small restaurants in the village serve Czech stews and farmhouse bread, and signage is in Czech with some English.
Practical guidance: bring sturdy shoes with grip, a rain shell, passport for the border crossing, and drinks/snacks for the day. Start early to avoid mid-day crowds and follow wayfinding to protect delicate rock faces. The reserve is fragile—stay on paths, pack out waste, and check seasonal closures. With sensible preparation, the rocks reward calm steps with cinematic views and a tangible sense of deep time.

The sandstone pillars were shaped by erosion over millions of years; the area attracted Romantic-era visitors like Goethe and later became protected as a national nature reserve.
