Looking for a scenic and nature-rich escape just across the Polish border? An Adršpach day trip from Wrocław is one of the easiest and most rewarding journeys you can take.
As it happened, it was one of my quick unplanned day trips from Wrocław. On a fine Wednesday morning during the Majowka holidays (May 1 long weekend), I ventured further south-east of Wroclaw. Crossing the international border, I ended up in Adršpach in the Czech Republic.
Exciting sandstone cliffs, deep ravines, gorges, and stunning viewpoints carpeted in the thick forest canopy make this place such an allure. The serpentine trails and an emerald lake make major highlights of the park. That’s why it has gained popularity among top attractions in Lower Silesia, close to the Poland-Czech border. Adršpach is a perfect day trip from Wroclaw.
About Adršpach Nature Park in the Czech Republic
Located in the Broumov region of the Czech Republic, Adršpach is a scenic nature park bustling with miraculous natural scapes. Also known as Adršpach-Teplice Rocks, the vast nature park is entwined between the villages of Teplice and Metují, Adršpach and Čáp Peak above the village of Skály. Adršpach has dispersed gigantic rock formations, located across the entire region. They are sturdy, immense and are the perfect representation of humans as if they were posing for a family photo, or they were some couple hugging and kissing!
The entire nature park region is skirted by enormous rock structures, some of them standing almost 100 meters tall. They are a treat to the eyes! With all those small water streams flowing amidst the rocks, the sight of pretty waterfalls cascading from one rock and slipping underneath the other makes this place such an astonishing beauty.
How to Plan Your Adršpach Day Trip from Wrocław
Adršpach is 112 km far from Wroclaw Main Railway Station & is an ultimate option for anyone looking for a quick day trip to the diverse nature of Lower Silesian region. 2 hours of scenic train journey (in my case it was a weekend special train) will take you to Adršpach Railway Station located 50 meters from the park entrance.
All you have to do is catch the early morning Koleje Dolnoślaskię train from Wrocław Głowny. Optionally, you can also drive to the nature park by road. It’s a 2-hour drive from the Wroclaw Centre.

General description of Adršpach Landscape Park
Once you are inside the nature park, the imposing views of the rocks will grab your attention. The 14 km walk is nice and easy.
Ample steps, canyons, super-narrow passages- some of them as slim as 50 cm, lakes, and adorable rock structures jutting over the thick forest make the highlight of the nature park. You will need at least 3.30 hours to complete the entire hiking circuit inside the park.
But wait, did I tell you about the turquoise lake at the main entrance of Adršpach Nature Park?
The emerald lake next to the entrance serves as the centrepiece. I’d say that it’s a mere glimpse of the remarkable beauty that you’re going to behold during the journey. Adršpach offers remarkable nature, waterfalls and lakes, making for a satisfying experience.
At least 4 hours are needed for a proper hike.
Entrance ticket price per person – 120 Czech Koruna, Discounted price – 70 Czech Koruna (for students)

Things you must know before heading to Adršpach near Wroclaw
- Wear comfortable hiking boots.
- There’s a shop at the entrance to buy snacks, coffee, and souvenirs. Most of the shops nearby accept cash over cards, therefore keep some cash handy if you can.
- Do not go there without running a proper check on the weather conditions. Since it’s a mountainous region, the weather changes in no time. It’s wise to be prepared for occasional rain.
- There is a water reservoir deep inside the park towards the end. You have to pay extra for a boat ride on that lake, and it’s super crowded with tourists. I’d recommend you to skip that. It can be a waste of time and money.
- If you took a train to reach the park, do check the return train and plan your hours accordingly. In the evening, only one train operates from Adršpach to Wroclaw.
Whether you’re drawn to the awe-inspiring rock formations or simply seeking a quick getaway from Wrocław, Adršpach is a place that promises to leave you speechless. If you’re planning a trip and need some guidance, I’d be happy to help plan your adventure!

Trains are the best option to visit Adrspach. Since it is in Czech and direct train connections are difficult, it is always nice to go and check at the ticket counter at the Wroclaw main train station. They keep making changes and sometimes offer some new offers. Thanks
