Information for school trips

Tickets for school groups must be reserved in advance using THIS FORM. After filling in, wait for the reservation confirmation email, where you will also receive the reservation number.

Three days before the planned visit, you will receive an email in which it is necessary to confirm the reservation. Without confirmation, your reservation may be canceled.

We recommend making a reservation at least 30 days in advance, especially during the summer holidays. We have limited capacity, so it may happen that we no longer have tickets available at the requested time.

The exact time of entry for all groups of more than 10 people will be determined by the information center staff.

Ticket price

• Ticket prices for schools are set according to the price list for online purchase.
• Free admission applies to kindergartens and children's homes. In this case as well, it is necessary to have a reservation created for the group.
• Pay for your tickets on the day of arrival at the information centre at the entrance to the rocks. Payment can be made by card or in cash (CZK).
• Guides who hold the Czech National Tourist Guide Card 1st and 2nd level are entitled to free admission. All the information about this licence, including a template for applying for it, can be found HERE.

Parking

Travelling by train or bus

Both the train and bus stop is located near the entrance gate to the City of Rocks. The train regularly goes from Trutnov and Teplice nad Metují.

Restrooms

The restrooms are located at the entrance gate to the park as well as next to the food tents across from the main car park. ATTENTION: There are no restrooms located on the actual hiking trail. However, should an emergency present itself, we ask that you please don’t cause any harm to the environment and clean up after yourself. You’ll find garbage bins spread out across the entire trail.

Where will we eat?

You’ll find food tents a short way from the park exit. If you would prefer a restaurant, you’ll find a list of them on our website in the ‘services - food’ section. Keep in mind, however, that with such a large number of students, you will need to reserve your place at any restaurant. If you plan on bringing your own food with you, a rest area complete with a campfire is located directly behind the large car park. In the winter season, always check the opening hours of restaurants - most restaurants are only open on weekends.

What should we wear?

The trail measures 3.5 km, so you should plan at least 3 hours for your visit. We recommend dressing in comfortable athletic wear. During colder weather, wearing a layer of warm clothing is advised. An important part of your outfit should be high-quality, comfortable shoes. Be sure to bring enough water with you, a small snack, as well as a raincoat (if needed) and garbage sack. There are garbage bins spread out across the hiking trail and we would be happy if every piece of garbage finds its way inside one of them.

What else can you visit?

Apart from the trail through the rocks, you can also visit the Adršpach Chateau. The Chateau will take you back to the days of the Wonderful Baron and the former spinning school, but you will also learn about the origins of Czech sandstone climbing. At the Chateau, you can also take part in a unique game that will pull you into the fairy tale filmed in the heart of the Adršpach Rocks: The Third Prince. If you would like to continue onward along the footsteps of nature and learn something about the local vegetation, Cross Hill is located directly behind the car park, from where a nature trail will take you off into the woods. The start of the nature trail can be found right next to the main car park.

Conversation with a forest ranger

Right from the start of your visit, your students can have a conversation with a forest ranger. They will explain that some things are and are not allowed in the park. The children will learn that in place of the rocks a sea once ruled these parts and, should someone ask who created the stone towers and canyons, they can go with the forest ranger to find the answer together.

Information centre

After having walked through the rocks, don’t forget to stop by our information centre. Here you can purchase souvenirs of your visit, local products, or address and send a postcard.

Please note that intoxicated persons are prohibited on the tour and the use of megaphones or other voice amplification devices is prohibited.
