Teplicke skały (Teplice rocks)

The town of Teplice nad Metuji, that had been named after the warm water springs that do not freeze even in harsh winters, lies in northeast Bohemia on Metuje river approximately 10km from its spring. You can easily find the town on a map when you look for Broumov (15 km away).

Touristic track through Teplice rocks (long either 5 or 9 km) uses biue touristic marks. It takes at least three hours to go through that track. From Teplice rocks through Vlći rokle (Wolf s gili) you may reach Adrśpach. As well as in Adrśpach, there the objects bear interesting names, that were given to them sometimes in 18th and 19th centuries.

If in Adrśpach you may see isolated towers and stony pillars, here in Teplice rocks are morę wild and greater stony walls. What is morę, you will not struggle

with pecple here. as you will probably do in Adrśpach. And that is a big advantage.

Beginning of the path

You take a wide road round the last house in the area, when you !eave the cashplace. Then, after approximately 100 metres you take the footpath and enter the forest. The footpath will lead you to the first stairs and then to Ozvena (Echo), old wooden summerhouse with a view to Łysy vrch (Bald hill). From the Echo you continue on the stony forest path that ascends to the narrow walley fuli of tali trees and stones covered in moss. Morę far you go into the walley, higher the rocks are and the walley is morę and morę narrow and dramatic.
