Adršpach Rocks

Museums Coin no. 158
The bizarre rock formations of the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks are an attractive destination for tourist trips in northeastern Bohemia. On the route of this route, you will get to know many interesting rock formations together with two rock castles.
The National Nature Reserve of the Adršpach Teplice Rocks was declared in 1933 on an area of 1771 ha to protect the preserved units of rock towns. The National Nature Reserve is located roughly in a triangle defined by the villages of Adršpach (ZSJ Horní Adršpach), Teplice nad Metují and the peak of Čáp above the village of Skály.
In this area, after the retreat of the Cretaceous Sea, due to tectonic and erosion activity, including ventilation, two isolated groups of rocks were formed in the originally continuous sandstone slab – the rock towns of the Adršpach Rocks and the Teplice Rocks, separated from each other by the deep Vlčí ravine.
The National Nature Reserve is important not only for its geomorphology, but also for the occurrence of a number of protected animals and plants.
