Adršpach –
Medieval ruins above the rock city
It stands on the summit of Starozámecký vrch, at the northern edge of the Adršpašsko-teplické skály. It was likely founded in the second half of the 13th century, probably during the reign of Přemysl Otakar II. In the 14th century, it was among the royal estates that temporarily fell into the hands of local nobles, such as the Dubá family. During the Hussite Wars, it was occupied by the Hussites, but it was later reclaimed by the Lords of Dubá. In 1447, the castle was purchased by Silesian cities, which had it demolished, and it has not been restored since. It left behind only fragments of foundations, masonry, and rock relics.
What you will discover here
The ruins area offers the opportunity to explore the remains of castle walls, torsos of residential buildings, and visible signs of terrain fortifications that were carved directly into the rock. While the sharp rocky slopes served as natural protection from the north in the past, the southern approach was cleverly secured by a pair of ramparts and ditches. Inside the area, visitors may find traces of former cellars, remains of a well, and clearly legible hints of the original entrance areas.
Who is the castle suitable for
The site is an ideal destination for history enthusiasts, admirers of romantic ruins, and lovers of peaceful viewpoints. The location is suitable for both hikers and cyclists who appreciate outdoor exercise and do not mind short climbs in rugged rocky terrain. The castle can be reached via the red and yellow tourist trails from Dolní Adršpach, with the route measuring approximately 1.5 km.
How to get here and what to experience next
The starting point is Dolní Adršpach, from where a marked path leads all the way to the ruins. Parking is available in the village. The trip can be combined with a visit to the rock city, which creates a perfect contrast—medieval remains surrounded by sandstone towers with a view that boldly rivals medieval cities.
A castle where history and landscape breathe to the same rhythm
Hrad Adršpach is not just a forgotten ruin. It is a witness to the transformations of the region, where even the rocks whisper ancient stories of borders and shifts in power. Visitors are invited to come and discover a landscape where history meets the silence of the rocks.
