Trosky Region Locations

Text

An area, also known as Bohemian Paradise, about 90 km north-east of Prague with a great number of natural and cultural monuments. The main landmarks of the region are Kozákov Mountain and Trosky Castle, while other important sites include, for example, the Prachov and Klokoči rock formations, the castles Kost, Waldstein and Sychrov, and a number of ponds.
Its picturesque landscape is mainly underscored by the ubiquitous sandstone rocks, characterised by their steep and rugged reliefs and towers.
It is an important protected landscape area and a popular destination for climbers. Nowadays the area is crisscrossed with a dense network of tourist trails, making it a haven for nature lovers and enthusiasts of historical landmarks.
In the medieval period the region was quite bustling, particularly due to the numerous castles, fortresses and fortifications, which are located almost literally on every hilltop.
