If you saw the movie Chronicles of Narnia, then you saw Adršpašské Skály. You may have seen the scenery in the movie and thought “wow, nice scenery! to bad it’s all computer animated.” Well, do not worry, it wasn’t. Every the scene where the kids are crossing a crazy-looking stone arch is real. Adršpašské Skály is in the Czech Republic and is what I consider my favorite trip ever.

While serving an LDS mission I had the opportunity to spend a p-day hiking in Adršpašské Skály which is just outside a little city called Adršpach in the Northern part of the Czech Republic. It was summer and the scenery was beautiful and the park was extremely green and alive with all sort of foliage. To properly visualize Adršpašské Skály think of the Fiery Furnace in Arches National Park but granite instead of sandstone and plants instead of sand. We spent the day hiking a leisurely loop around the park and walked through tons of granite slot canyons. There was even a point where the path turned into a river and we had to take a boat to cross (a public boat, of course.) At other times, the way got a little rough and there were steps and platforms built into the rock.

While traveling the park, many of the stone monoliths had plagues attached to them which identified the name or characterization associated with the stone figure. We saw one that was The Giant’s Piano and looked very much like it could be just that. This just added to the mystical feeling of the park and the mid-evil feeling that Europe has anyway. In fact, much like the Chronicles of Narnia, I would describe the whole trip as magical.
