The gorge that Prince Edmund Clary-Aldringen opened to visitors in the nineteenth century, with paths cut into the rock, galleries and a boat stretch. After the 2022 fire it was closed for three years and reopened on 18 June 2026, with a new system: you enter and leave only from Hřensko and tour it with a guide, in groups of 25 people leaving every hour; the last at 15:00.

Tickets are sold by the guides at the gate or online, but the day may sell out: arrive early or check the municipality's social media, which announce when there are none left. It costs 350 CZK per adult. It closes in heavy rain or wind. The Hřensko information centre (+420 412 528 344) will tell you how the day is going.
