About Hruboskalsko
Hruboskalsko is an area of sandstone towers in the Bohemian Paradise, near Turnov. Trails and viewpoints run among rock formations and sections of forest. The outing should be organized as a hike with changes in elevation, choosing a circuit instead of trying to cover the whole area.
The rocks were shaped by natural processes that created walls, corridors and towers of varying forms. Observation points allow you to take in the whole from above, while the lower paths change the scale of the experience. The area is not limited to Hrubá Skála castle, whose name also appears in local references.
Define the start and end of the route and check whether return transport serves that point. Distances between access points can make a circular walk more practical than a traverse. Stay on authorized trails and allow time for stairs and viewpoint stops, not relying solely on mileage.
