You step out of the van and the forest seems to rearrange itself around the path—towering sandstone fingers loom overhead, and a cool stream dares you to follow its course through narrow gorges.
The Adršpach-Teplice Rock Cities are a patchwork of pillars, arches and clefts carved from hard sandstone over millennia. Locals began mapping and naming features in the 19th century, giving us playful landmarks like the Sphinx, the Golem and the Caterpillar. Geologically the area is a sandstone maze shaped by frost, rain and chemical weathering; culturally it sits on the edge of the Broumov Highlands and has long attracted hikers and painters who prize its odd silhouettes.
On the loop trail you’ll pass a placid lake hemmed by cliffs, small waterfalls and narrow passages where people must squeeze through the “mouse hole.” Higher switchbacks reward short scrambles with broad views across the rock city and the surrounding forested ridgelines. Teplice’s nearby sector offers a quieter feel and different formations a short drive away.
Practical note: the walking loop is 2–3 hours on uneven ground with some steps and tight gaps; wear grippy shoes, bring water and a light layer for shaded gorges. Facilities are basic near the car parks and small restaurants serve post-hike meals. If you’re crossing from Poland, carry passport or ID—the private transfer from Wrocław makes logistics easy. Go early to catch calm water reflections and cooler temperatures, and stay on marked trails to protect fragile sandstone and vegetation.
