• Novy Bor - In Nový Bor, the experience is as authentic as it gets—no tourist traps, just a functioning glass hut with furnaces always ablaze. Visitors can step onto the workshop floor and handle the pipe themselves. Guided by local glassmakers, they can try blowing or shaping their own glass piece, gaining insight into the skill required for each curve. It’s an opportunity to feel the “creative heat” and understand why this region’s craftsmanship has been renowned for centuries.
• Lord’s Rock - A short drive away is Panská skála, known as the “Stone Organ Pipes.” This impressive natural monument features vertical basalt columns that appear almost too symmetrical to be natural. Visitors can climb the pillars for a stunning view of the countryside or stroll around the base by the water. It’s a brief yet remarkable stop showcasing the unique volcanic landscape of Northern Bohemia.
• Arnultovice - For lunch, the journey continues to a local favorite in Arnultovice. This charming spot is celebrated in the region for its cuisine and authentic atmosphere. Guests can savor typical Czech dishes—hearty, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. A main course and drink are included, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy the flavors of Northern Bohemia.
• The Rock Castle Sloup - The tour also includes a visit to the Rock Castle in Sloup, a towering sandstone block overlooking the valley. This intriguing site features rooms and staircases carved directly into the cliffside centuries ago. Visitors can explore ancient hermit cells, a rock-cut chapel, and terraces offering some of the region’s best views. It feels more like an atmospheric labyrinth than a typical “museum” castle, immersing visitors in the history of the Bohemian countryside.
• Sloupsky vyhlidkovy okruh - Next is a leisurely hike through Sloup’s pine forests. This easy walk spans a few kilometers and connects some of the area’s hidden treasures, including Samuel’s Cave’s hand-carved rooms and the unique Forest Theatre built into the sandstone cliffs. The hike also includes a climb to the Na Stráži lookout for stunning views over the castle and the Lusatian Mountains. The path is gentle and often lined with wild blueberries, offering a chance for forest snacking along the way.
• Holy Trench - The final stop is the serene Modlivý důl, a hidden valley known for its rock-cut chapel carved into a sheer sandstone wall. This tranquil, spiritual place boasts a unique atmosphere, nestled in the forest away from typical tourist paths. The short, easy walk leads through a beautiful gorge to view the intricate Gothic-style arches and the altar carved directly into the stone. It’s the perfect, peaceful way to conclude the day before heading back to Prague.
