May 14, 2026, Hrubá Skála Castle

Hrubá Skála Castle is one of the main landmarks of Český ráj. The castle towers over a group of rock spires located six kilometers southeast of the town of Turnov. The rock formations, reaching up to sixty meters high, are found above the valley of the Libuňka river, situated in the landscape between Trosky Castle and Valdštejn Castle.

The municipality of Hrubá Skála is located in Český ráj near Turnov in the Semily district of the Liberec Region. 617 inhabitants live here. It is located in the immediate vicinity of Hrubá Skála Castle, which was built on a sandstone rock massif in the second half of the 14th century.

Hruboskalsko is a nature reserve declared on April 22, 1998. With an area of 219.2 ha, it is one of the largest rock towns in the Protected Landscape Area Český ráj. The reason for protection is the extensive rock town with preserved relict pine forests. The Hruboskalsko rock town includes hundreds of rock massifs and individual towers reaching up to 60 m in height. Due to the low resistance of sandstone and the constant effect of various influences, the rocks are rich in a variety of shapes and forms (honeycombs, windows, gates).

The name Český ráj originally designated the Litoměřice region (today called the Garden of Bohemia), inhabited by German-speaking population. The current definition originated in the second half of the 19th century. Spa guests visiting the Sedmihorky spa are often cited as its authors, but the first documented use comes from editor Václav Durych from 1886.

Beautiful wooden boardwalk opposite the climbing rock. A beautiful, varied hiking trail runs along the river, and a panoramic path leads back above it.
