Bohemian Switzerland is a landscape of viewpoints, and the most famous of them are the Jet\u0159ichovice rock viewpoints with poetic names: Marie’s Rock, Vilem\u00edn’s Wall, Rudolf’s Stone. All three Jet\u0159ichovice viewpoints are named after members of the Kinsky family, who owned the local \u010cesk\u00e9 Kamenice estate. <\/p>\n
Marie’s Rock<\/strong> (428 m), originally a fire observation tower, was opened to tourists by Ferdinand Kinsk\u00fd in 1856 and named after his new wife, Marie Anna Kinsk\u00e1, n\u00e9e Princess of Liechtenstein. The view high on the rocks from a wooden gazebo was reopened to visitors in 2007 after the original gazebo was destroyed by a fire started by careless tourists in September 2005. <\/p>\n Vilem\u00edna’s Wall <\/strong>(442 m) was originally called \u010cern\u00e1 st\u011bna, a name that is now almost forgotten. The wall was given its new name after Princess Vilem\u00edna Kinsk\u00e1, the wife of Rudolf Kinsk\u00fd. It was opened to the public in the mid-19th century and a wooden gazebo in the form of a hermitage was built here, but it has long since ceased to exist. <\/p>\n Rudolf’s Stone<\/strong> (484 m), also called the Promontory and formerly the High Stone, has been named since 1824 after Prince Rudolf Kinsky, who visited the rock in that year and later had a shelter built there. From the summit rock, it offers a unique circular view of the rocky landscape of the rear Bohemian Switzerland. A path leads to the top, ending with a strenuous climb up stone steps. <\/p>\n We recommend this scenic walking loop: <\/strong><\/p>\n From Jet\u0159ichovice we follow the blue trail past the Church of St. John of Nepomuk. Across meadows with a view of Maria’s Rock and Vilem\u00edn’s Wall we head towards Ko\u010di\u010d\u00ed Church (rock). We continue along the blue trail through the forest to the rock niche chapel of the Last Judgment, also called the Kny Chapel. Here we turn right onto the red trail and continue along the foot of the rocky mountain Koli\u0161t\u011b to the Pohovka crossroads. We follow the red tourist mark further to Rudolf’s Stone (or Ostroh), from the top of which there is a circular view of the surroundings. From here we descend further via the Purkartick\u00fd les crossroads and head towards other rock lookouts – Vilem\u00edn’s Wall and Maria’s Rock. From there, all that awaits us is a steep descent along the red trail (around the former children’s sanatorium) back to Jet\u0159ichovice. <\/p>\n Length: 10 km<\/p>\n Duration: 4\u20135 hours<\/p>\n Difficulty: demanding (climbing to the viewpoint on ladders)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":91850,"template":"","kategorie_zazitek":[],"kdy_navstivit":[381,379,380,382],"pro_koho":[361,362,364,363],"zazitek-stitek":[329],"zeme":[408],"class_list":["post-91849","zazitky","type-zazitky","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kdy_navstivit-autumn","kdy_navstivit-spring","kdy_navstivit-summer","kdy_navstivit-winter","pro_koho-couples","pro_koho-families","pro_koho-groups","pro_koho-with-a-dog","zazitek-stitek-nature","zeme-czech-republic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zazitky\/91849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zazitky"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/zazitky"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_zazitek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_zazitek?post=91849"},{"taxonomy":"kdy_navstivit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kdy_navstivit?post=91849"},{"taxonomy":"pro_koho","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pro_koho?post=91849"},{"taxonomy":"zazitek-stitek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zazitek-stitek?post=91849"},{"taxonomy":"zeme","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zeme?post=91849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
