The reservation system should spread the traffic throughout the day, thus facilitating the traffic during the busiest hours (between 10 am and 2 pm). This makes visitors enjoy the trip much more and has a positive impact on local nature. The booking system also facilitates transport.

You buy your ticket online for a given hour, e.g. 8:00, and you can enter the rocks during the hourly interval 8:00 - 9:00. Once you enter the tour, you are not limited by time and can exit the rocks at any time. Once you exit the rocks, your ticket will no longer be valid.

Tickets can be cancelled at least 7 days in advance. A voucher with a discount code for the value of your order will be sent to your email. You can then choose another date according to your preferences and use the discount code instead of payment. The voucher is valid for 6 months.

If you have purchased both a ticket and a parking pass, the discount code reflects this status and it is not possible to use the discount amount to purchase tickets only. Therefore, only parking tickets can be purchased for parking.

The system will also automatically cancel tickets in case of emergencies. For example, if there is an unexpected closure of the car park or tour circuit. If such a situation affects you and you have purchased an online ticket, you will receive a notification message by email. You will also be notified of the emergency on the website. If such a situation occurs, a voucher for the value of your order will be emailed to you. You will then be able to book another date for your visit.

The mailbox is located at the entrance to the rock city on the TS Adršpach building. A second mailbox is available in Horní Adršpach at the Czech Post office building.

Flying drones is prohibited here. Drone movements in the air strongly disturb certain rare bird species. Falcons, in particular, are sensitive to intruders flying above their nests in the spring. Such disturbances can lead to the abandonment of eggs, predation of chicks, or injuries to parents trying to drive away the intruder. Unnatural sounds from unmanned devices significantly reduce the comfort of visitors in protected areas or even their safety.

If you want to fly drones in a specially protected area, you must apply for an exception. How to proceed?

1. Apply for Authorization for operation in the "specific" category from the Civil Aviation Authority.
2. Apply for an exception from the Broumovsko CHKO Administration.
3. Send the approved applications to the email address zatloukal@adrspasskeskaly.cz and wait for confirmation of the exception from the circuit operator.

Keep all documents with you on the day of drone operation and present them to the guardian upon request.

You can find detailed rules for drone operation in our country and a sample application here.
