Article Rocks
Tourist starting point south of the Teplice Rocks
Rocks is not only a very important tourist crossroads, but also an interesting place even just for a short walk around or refreshments. The heart of the place is the castle Rocks (Bischofstein). From here you can take a short walk towards Černé jezírko or the ruins of Skály Castle
Bischofstein Park
The center of this place is a small park located between the restaurant and the castle. Both families with children and those who want to enjoy refreshments in the fresh air will find enjoyment here
Rock Castle (Bischofstein)
Castle Rocks (Bischofstein) nowadays serves as a hotel
Black lake
Next door is the Black Lake, bypassing it on footpath is ideal for families with prams
The shores of the lake
The shores of the lake are overgrown with wetland-loving vegetation.
Swamp
The grass from a distance looks ideal for rest, but in reality it is a real mudflat
Landscape around the Skály castle
The highlight of the local visit is the ascent to the rock castle Skály. The path starts right at the lake
Stairs to the castle
The ascent to the castle is via a long staircase – after all, you can enjoy the stairs on almost every tour in the Broumov region
Under the gate of the Skály castle
The stairs continue to the castle gate
Passage through a mysterious gate
The whole place looks quite mysterious, including the passage through the local stone gate.
Skály Castle
The center of the rock castle was basically a sandstone massif at the top of the hill in which the rock flats were carved.
Final ascent to the lookout
The best of all this short trip is the ascent to the very top of the rock massif with a beautiful view of the region
View of Ostas
The nearest dominant feature of the horizon is the Ostaš table mountain
View of the Stork with a lookout tower
Even closer is Čáp (786 m above sea level), which is the highest point of the Adršpach-Teplice rocks
Jirásek rocks
Hrádek Skály is actually only the last island of a small rock town – Jirásek's Rocks. The way down back is the same, or you can walk down a well-trodden path
Where to go from Skal?
If you don't have Rocks just like a small trip, it's more just a stop for some longer hikes for you. From here you can continue to Čápa, Ostaš, Teplice or Jestřebí mountains
