Discovering the Adrspach Rock City: Nature’s Fairy Tale

The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the Adrspach Rock City, or “City of Rocks,” a sprawling landscape of towering stone formations, narrow passages, and jagged cliffs. The 3.5-kilometer hike, which takes roughly three hours, is described as medium hard, making it accessible for most visitors willing to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for some stairs and uneven ground.

The rock formations themselves are spectacular, resembling castles, towers, and fantastical shapes that look like they’ve been plucked from a fairy tale. Travelers frequently mention the ‘unforgettable views’ and the feeling of walking through a natural sculpture park. The first travelers visited as early as the 18th century, and the welcoming gate built for visitors still adds a charming touch to the entrance.

Based on reviews, guides such as Jan or Petr are praised for their enthusiasm and extensive knowledge, explaining the history and geology of the formations while ensuring everyone stays safe and engaged. One guest noted, “The guide’s stories made the hike even more interesting—he knew exactly when to share fun facts and when to let us enjoy the scenery.”
