How to plan a trip to Adrspach?

  • BY CAR - If you are planning to travel by car, it is necessary to take into account the current traffic situation and have sufficient time before arrival. We regularly update traffic information on our website and social media. Due to limited parking capacity, we also recommend purchasing a parking space online. The parking ticket is valid for the whole day (from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm). Parking is free for holders of a ZTP or ZTP / P card. In this case, there is no need to book a parking space online. MAP
  • BY TRAIN - We recommend taking the train. The Adršpach train stop is located right in front of the entrance to the rock town. Train connections can be found on IDOS.
  • BY BUS - Try the bus. The bus stop is located about 250 m from the entrance to the rock town. Bus connections can be found on IDOS.
  • BY BIKE - Bike paths lead directly to the Adršpach rock town. You can store your bikes in the bike shed right at the entrance to the rocks. The sightseeing circuit is for pedestrians only.

What should I do if I enter the wrong email address during an online purchase?

Call our information centre at +420 491 586 012 or email us at info@adrspasskeskaly.cz. We will correct the email address and send the confirmation with QR code to the correct address.

What to do if you enter the wrong license plate number?

If you enter the wrong license plate number during the booking process or arrive in Adršpach with a different car than you originally planned, there is no need to worry. In such a case, the parking gate will not open automatically. However, have your parking QR code ready, which you can simply scan, and the gate will open for you.

Do I need to make another online purchase when entering the Teplice Rocks?

At the Teplice Rocks, you can purchase online or on site. More information about online purchases can be found HERE.

The Teplice Rocks are not connected to our online system, so purchases for the two rock towns are handled separately. However, if you walk from one rock town to the other through Vlčí rokle along the yellow hiking trail, you do not need to make another purchase. One valid proof of payment is sufficient. Once you leave the rock towns, it is no longer valid.

Is it possible to have a wedding ceremony and photo session in the Adršpach Rocks?

Yes, it is possible for a fee of CZK 3,000, which you pay at the information centre at the entrance to the rocks.

  • This fee does not include use of the visitor trail. A separate purchase is therefore required, ideally online in advance.
  • If you would like to hold a wedding ceremony or a photo session here, please send us an email at info@adrspasskeskaly.cz and we will arrange the details.
  • We do not provide a wedding officiant or any organization of the wedding ceremony - these matters must be arranged separately.
  • It is not possible to install a ceremony gate or use live or recorded music in the rock area.
  • Please respect the movement of other visitors during the wedding. Hiking trails must remain passable. Entry off the designated trails is strictly prohibited.
  • We encourage you to consider the specifics of this location. Especially during the main tourist season, an increased number of visitors must be expected, so absolute privacy cannot be guaranteed.
  • If the capacity for your chosen time slot is full, it is not possible to make the purchase on site either.
  • The maximum number of participants allowed (including photographer, officiant, etc.) is 10 people.

What is the length of the hiking trails?

  • The hiking trail through the rock city is 3.5 km long and is marked with a green sign. You should allocate about 2.5 hours to complete it.
  • The route around the sand quarry (blue trail) is 1.5 km long.
  • The yellow trail (Vlčí rokle) leading to the Teplice rocks is 3,5 km long.
  • The circuit around the Teplice rocks is marked with a blue sign and is 6 km long.

Is the Adršpach Rocks circuit physically demanding?

From the entrance to the rocks to the Small Waterfall (1,3 km), the circuit is flat and quite easy. At the turn to Nová partie, narrow steep stairs lead to the views of Milence, Velké Panorama, Starosta and Starostova or Cukrovarský Komín. There are about 850 stairs on Nová partie. This part of the circuit is slightly more challenging. There are almost 2,000 steps on the entire circuit of the rock city.

During the summer months, there is a currency exchange office available before entering the Adršpach Rocks, near the refreshment stands.

Is there an ATM near the rocks?

Yes, Česká spořitelna ATM is located in the information center right at the entrance to the rocks. Moneta ATM is located in the building of the Skalní město Hotel opposite the central parking lot.

Can I bring my dog with me to the rocks?

Your four-legged partners can also visit the Adršpach Rocks, but they must be kept on a leash during their stay in the area. However, dogs are not allowed on the boats.

Is it possible to go to the area with a bike?

It is forbidden to enter the area by bicycle (also forbidden to ride bicycles side by side). Bicycles can be left in the bike shed at the entrance to the rocks. If you do not have a bike lock, you can rent one for a refundable deposit of 200 CZK at our information centre.

Is the tour route suitable for strollers?

The route is wheelchair accessible only from the entrance to the rock town to the Small Waterfall (approximately 1.3 km). It is necessary to return to the exit by the same route.

If you plan to walk the entire route, we recommend taking a stretcher. Most of the route involves narrow and steep steps that are not accessible with a stroller.

We will be happy to give you directions on the map at the entrance.

What is prohibited in the Adršpach Rocks National Nature Reserve and what can the guardian of the rocks issue a fine for?

No swimming in the sandpit or on the boating pond! No smoking in the whole area! No drunk persons allowed! No walking off the marked trails! No carving or painting in the rocks! No flying drones! No dogs off leash! No camping in the area! No open fires!

The guardian of the rocks has the status of an official person and can issue a fine if you violate Act 114/1992 Coll. on Nature and Landscape Protection.

What are the advantages of the booking system?

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.

How does the selected visit time work?

When purchasing online, you choose a specific time, for example 8:00. You can then enter the rock town during the following hour, from 8:00 to 9:00. Once you enter the visitor trail, there is no time limit on the length of your visit. However, your payment confirmation is valid only until you leave the rock town.

Can an online purchase be cancelled?

An online purchase can be cancelled no later than 7 days before the planned visit. We will then send you a voucher by email with a discount code equal to the value of your order. You can use it to choose a new date that suits you. The voucher is valid for 6 months.

If you paid for both the visitor trail and parking in the same order, you will receive a discount code for the total value of the order. However, the part intended for parking can only be used for parking again.

In the event of an emergency, for example an unexpected closure of the car park or visitor trail, the system will automatically cancel the order. You will receive an email notification together with a voucher for the full value of your order. We also publish current information about emergency situations on our website. You can then use the voucher when choosing a new date for your visit.

Are payment confirmations checked on the visitor trail?

Yes, random checks are carried out along the Adršpach Rocks visitor trail. You must therefore keep your payment confirmation with you throughout your visit.

Where can I find a mailbox in Adršpach?

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.

How should I proceed when I want to fly / take pictures with a drone in the rocks?

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.

Is it possible to take commercial photographs and videos in the rocks?

Yes, commercial photography and filming are possible upon prior arrangement via email at marketing@adrspasskeskaly.cz.

What should I do if I haven’t purchased parking in advance and the parking lot is sold out?

First, drive to our official car park and ask the staff about the current capacity. If you have a valid confirmation of your online purchase for the visitor trail, we can usually find you a parking space. If the car park is completely full, the staff will advise you where else you can park in Adršpach. Private car parks are also available.

If you have not completed your online purchase for that day and the capacity of the visitor trail is already full, it is not possible to complete the purchase on site either. In that case, you will need to choose a different date for your visit.

Is there luggage storage in Adršpach?

Yes. During the summer season, luggage storage is available at Adršpach train station, directly opposite the entrance to the rocks. Outside the summer season, the luggage storage is closed.
