Broumovsko and Adršpach
The Adršpach rock town, the ridge of the Broumov Walls and the baroque monastery in Broumov lie so close together that five days never feel rushed. The vehicle stays parked in one place for several nights and you set off from it on foot into the rocks in the morning and to the chateaux in the afternoon. The drive from Prague takes about two and a half hours in a motorhome, so there is still time for something on the first and the last day. The season runs from April to October — at its edges, though, you need to watch which days the chateaux are open.
From Prague you take the motorway towards Hradec Králové and then first-class roads through Jaroměř and Trutnov; in a motorhome allow roughly two and a half hours of actual driving. In the afternoon settle in at a campsite near Teplice nad Metují and keep the rest of the day for getting your bearings. If you arrive early and still have the energy, you can walk a shorter loop through the Teplice rock town — it tends to be less busy than Adršpach and has its own entrance and its own car park.
Set out first thing in the morning, while the rocks are still quiet — arrange tickets and parking beforehand, the details are in the practical information. The trail follows a surfaced path between towers such as the Lovers or the Mayor and Mayoress all the way to the Great Waterfall, which in season is reached by a small boat across a pool. With children you can walk it without hurrying in one morning, which leaves the afternoon for a rest by the water or an easy return to the campsite.
The Broumov Walls are a walking affair pure and simple — the vehicle stays at the trailhead and you go up on foot. The classic route is the climb to the chapel of Our Lady of the Snows on Hvězda, with a view down into the Broumov basin, followed by the ridge path between the sandstone crags. Count on a full day out in the terrain and take food with you, as there is nowhere to shop up on the ridge. Come back to the campsite near Teplice nad Metují for the night — the vehicle stays put for a third night and you set off for Broumov in the morning.
In the morning drive over to Broumov; with a longer vehicle it is better to go via Meziměstí than up the hairpins across the walls. The Benedictine monastery above Broumov is a baroque building from the Dientzenhofer circle, and inside you will find the monastery library and one of the surviving copies of the Turin Shroud. A short walk from the centre stands the wooden cemetery church of the Virgin Mary, one of the oldest surviving wooden churches in the country, and the whole Broumov group of baroque churches is scattered around the surrounding villages. In the afternoon drive down to Náchod for the Renaissance chateau above the town, and spend the night closer to the way home, near Červený Kostelec.
Nové Město nad Metují has a Renaissance chateau right on its arcaded square and a garden laid out in the early twentieth century by Dušan Jurkovič — the wooden bridge and pavilion are its most photographed part. On the way to the motorway stop in Opočno for the arcaded courtyard, the chateau park and the palm greenhouse. In April and October, however, both Nové Město nad Metují and Opočno are open only at weekends and on public holidays, and on weekdays Nové Město admits pre-booked groups only, so at the edges of the season plan the visit for a weekend. The afternoon is then just the drive back to Prague.
Up to 3.5 t: a Czech electronic motorway vignette is enough (the annual one costs CZK 2,570 in 2026, shorter validities are available too) and you buy it at edalnice.gov.cz. You only need it for the motorway section from Prague to Hradec Králové — the rest of the route runs on first- and second-class roads, where you pay nothing. Over 3.5 t: the vignette does not apply, the vehicle falls under the MYTO CZ electronic toll system and must carry an on-board unit; the rate is calculated from the number of axles and the emission class, so arrange the unit before you leave. Admission to the Adršpach rock town and parking there are paid separately, and motorhomes pay a higher parking rate than cars — book both the ticket and the parking online in advance, because once the online capacity is gone you cannot buy them on the spot.
Autokemp Bučnice, Teplice nad Metují — right below the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks, takes motorhomes and caravans, reception daily 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. · Stellplatz Adršpach, Nádražní 50, Teplice nad Metují — a motorhome stopover site with a 230 V hook-up, open all year round · Kemp Brodský, Červený Kostelec — a family campsite by a pond between Náchod and Česká Skalice, with electrical hook-ups, open from March to November · Stellplatz Rozkoš, Velká Jesenice near Česká Skalice — a stopover site by the Rozkoš reservoir, season from April to October, handy for the last night before the return
Wild camping in the Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area is out of the question and overnight parking is banned in the car parks by the Adršpach rocks — for the night always head to a campsite or a designated stopover site. During the day the safest option is to drive into the official paid car park at the entrance to the rock town; at the chateaux in Náchod, Nové Město nad Metují and Opočno it is better with a longer vehicle to park in the car park below the historic centre and walk up.
The most reliable service point on the route is Stellplatz Adršpach in Teplice nad Metují: drinking water, a chemical toilet emptying point and a grey water drain, accessible all year round. Fill the tanks right up here — the site by the Rozkoš reservoir in Velká Jesenice does have electricity and both drains, but do not count on topping up drinking water there. In Broumov itself there is no public drain to look for, so head into the region with your waste tanks empty.
Adria Compact
The roads into the Broumov spur are narrow and hilly, and the car parks at the rock towns and below the chateaux tend to be full in season — a compact low-profile motorhome fits into them and is far easier to manoeuvre on the hairpins than an overcab. At the same time it has everything you need for several nights in a single campsite, which is exactly how this route works: the vehicle stays put and you walk.
