- Duración: 2 h 30
- Temporada: All year; icy in winter
- Para quién: All ages who can walk; stairs and roots, not much use for pushchairs

Trail · 2–3 h · free · sandstone towers up to 60 m between Hrubá Skála Castle and Valdštejn

The heart of the Bohemian Paradise: hundreds of white sandstone towers, up to 60 metres, separated by narrow gorges, with Hrubá Skála Castle perched on one of them. The waymarked trails go from viewpoint to viewpoint: the Mariánská vyhlídka, with the view of the Dračí skály and, in the distance, the two towers of Trosky; the Janova vyhlídka or the Zámecká, next to the castle. From above you will see climbers: people have been climbing here for more than a century.
A good route starts from Hrubá Skála Castle, passes the viewpoints and reaches Valdštejn Castle, about 3.5 km away; you return by another trail or carry on to Turnov. Allow two or three hours with stops. The stairs cut into the rock are slippery in rain and ice.
