Where on Earth Week 20: Adr?pach-Teplice Rocks - Czech Republic
Well done neil_metblogs. You covered absolutely all the bases to give a correct answer. The "Rock Towns" of Adršpach and Teplice in Northern Bohemia aren't as well known as the similar sandstone formations further west in the Cesky Raj region of the Czech Republic, but for my money they're actually more spectacular.
While researching the latest edition of Lonely Planet's Czech & Slovak Republics book I had the chance to check both regions out. Despite it being April, there was still a lot of snow on the ground - especially when I trekked the 3km trail along Wolf Gorge that joins the Adršpach and Teplice regions.
Lucky I could dive into the Pension Skaly for beer and schnitzel. Sometimes the simple things in life are the best.

Hi Brett. Your post made me smile, especially that photo. I have an almost identical one from when I was updating the first edition of that very same LP guidebook, along with Richard Nebesky. I had a similarly magical time at Teplice and Cesky Raj. I was there in March, lots of snow, not many travelers at all. Pass my greetings along to the LP clan.

Hey Guys.. I was glad to see a photo of the gorge when not covered in snow. I ventured out there in mid Jan 05 - and had a day walking out amount the trails - saw 2 people all day and arrived back to a hotel empty (no staff even- but i had a key). It looks so different ith that perspective..
