Hradec Králové Region, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Adršpach-Teplice Rocks is a remarkable natural area in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic, famous for its vast maze of towering sandstone formations, narrow passageways, and dramatic rock towers.

Named after the nearby villages of Adršpach and Teplice nad Metují, it is one of the most spectacular rock landscapes in Central Europe. Often called a “rock city,” the area features thousands of uniquely shaped sandstone pillars, cliffs, caves, waterfalls, and small lakes that have been sculpted by natural erosion over millions of years.

Many of the formations have imaginative names inspired by their shapes, adding to the site's charm and appeal. Protected as a nature reserve since 1933, Adršpach-Teplice Rocks is a popular destination for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers who come to explore its scenic trails and extraordinary geological formations in a peaceful forest setting.
