Falkenštejn Rock Castle

Highlight • Castle

Everyone really comes up here. The "innovations" made of steel and iron are somewhat exaggerated. Unfortunately there is no real Felsenburg atmosphere.
Beautiful view.

The Rudolfstein, named after Prince Rudolf Kinský, offers the most beautiful view in Dittersbacher Schweiz.
Attention: narrow, steep ascent! One should be fearless and take small children by the hand.

The starting point of the hike was Jetřichovice. In the picturesque village there are beautiful half-timbered houses. Jetřichovice is well prepared for tourism.

Past the restored and colorful baroque church of St. John of Nepomuk went out of town. First you come to a cat bench. The forest path then led to a forest chapel from 1840.

Actually, due to lack of time for research, I had AI plan my trip to the Czech Republic... And this hike was a hot tip. Chatted with my Dutch neighbor over coffee in the morning and spontaneously did the hike together... And it was once again like a mystical dream. Around every corner another surprise, over rocks, stairs, bridges it …

It was a wonderful tour, but also a bit strenuous, especially in the first third. But it's definitely worth it. Great weather, not overcrowded and wonderful nature. Parking in official spots costs 200 kronen, but you can also follow signs to private properties, where it costs 100 to 150 kronen. I found that out too late.

Today I explored a small part of the "Bohemian Switzerland" National Park on a wonderful rock hike. The climbing is strenuous, but the views are unforgettable. The pictures say more than words.

Nice hike in the neighboring country.

Unfortunately the pictures don't match the places where they were taken because my camera, unlike my cell phone, doesn't have a GPS module. 🤷‍♂️
