    Prachovské rocks are one of the symbols of the Bohemian Paradise. It's an amazing group of sandstone cliffs and various rock formations, mostly towers, but also forests and paths that run as a maze through the entire area. This place has its special charm, when one is in the grip of the local rocks that have been sculpted for millions of years, we are fascinated by a special feeling of silent respect and admiration. prachovskeskaly.com

      Some crevasses are quite narrow, and it's easy to bump into them with a large backpack. It's best to hike with a small pack.

        Prachovské skály is our most famous sandstone rock town, located on the southern edge of the Bohemian Paradise, about 7 km northwest of the town of Jičín. On an area covering about 260 ha, there is wild nature including numerous gorges, ravines, ravines, viewpoints, lonely sandstone towers, needles, group rock blocks, collapsed rocks or rock gorges with narrow winding passages. All this makes the Prachovské skal one of the most sought-after locations in the Czech Paradise. It is a paradise especially for climbers. But tourists are also well taken care of here, the most interesting parts of the rocks are easily accessible via two carefully marked circuits, which reliably guide everyone through the most beautiful and attractive parts of this captivating play of nature.

        The first is the Malý okruh, which takes only 45 minutes, leads through the beautiful nature of the Imperial Corridor, from where it climbs through a mouse hole to the Czech Paradise Lookout, from where you can see, for example, Trosky Castle. The large circuit introduces visitors to a large number of interesting places in the Prachovské skaly and is probably the most attractive and interesting route through the rock massifs. Its length is 5 km and it takes about 2 hours. During its completion, one must expect frequent sharp ascents that lead directly between impressive rocks, which adds the necessary adventure to the tour. Eight beautiful viewpoints await visitors. Pech's lookout, Šikmá tower, Míru's lookout, Hlahol's lookout, Rumcajs' lookout, Schlik's lookout, Mír's lookout, Všeček's lookout, Pech's lookout and the highest point, Haken's lookout, which ends at 460 m above sea level. Both circuits start at the Tourist Hut of the Czech Tourists' Club, which was built in 1924, in the very core of the rock town. On hot summer days, visitors can use the U Pelíška swimming pool. In 1935, the Skalní město hotel was built for the needs of tourists. Prachovské skály has been a nature reserve since 1933, and has been part of the Bohemian Paradise Protected Landscape Area since 2002.

                Prachovské Rocks are popular with climbers and tourists. The most interesting formations are accessible along designated hiking trails. Prachovské Rocks are a state nature reserve and have been protected since 1933. Prachovské Rocks has two main circuits
                The small circuit is 1.5 km long and you will see the Imperial Corridor and two viewpoints. This circuit is intended for less demanding tourists. The second route - the large circuit will take you to many attractive places in the area, you will see eight of the thirteen viewpoints. Get ready for more steep climbs and descents. Look forward to a viewing paradise
                The first viewpoint in Prachovské Rocks after your entrance is called the Křižkovského sboru viewpoint and you can reach it after passing through Branka. From the height you will see, for example, Kumburk, the recreational area of Jinolické rybníky, the Tábor hill, Kozlov, Kozákov or Trosky. The Leaning Tower lookout is 422 m high and you will find the Vítkovu vyhlídka (Vítek's Lookout), which can be reached by stairs carved into the rock. In the center of the Prachovské Rocks is the Míru Lookout. The Hlaholská Lookout is located at a height of 460 m and is named after the Prague singing association Hlahol. On the Přivýšina hill you will find the Václav Čtvrtek Lookout and a magnificent view of the Tábor ridge, Zebín, Čeřovka, Velíšský ridge, Ostružno and Prachov.
