At the mouth of the Kokořín and Vojtěchov valleys, near Mšeno, erosion has left sandstone towers with a hat of harder rock on top: the largest is 12 m high and its hat is 6 m wide. From the castle you reach them along the blue trail; closer in, there is a parking area on the Mšeno road. Around them are other named rocks, such as the Giant's Head and the Frog. Climbing is not allowed: it is a protected area.
