A view from the castle of Střmen

The main entrance into the Teplice Rock Town is situated nearby the train stop Teplice nad Metují - Skály or 2 kms from downtown Teplice. One may also access the rock town from Janovice via Záboř or from Bischofstein. The walking trail in the Teplice Rock Town is 6 kms long and is navigated by blue tourist marks. In the spring (especially in April and May) parts of the trail may be temporarily closed to public as the loop leads through a nesting area of protected species of birds.

A steel stairway to the castle of Střmen is situated near the entrance. There is a beautiful view in all directions from the top of the castle - especially on clear and sunny days.
