#mustsee

Expect some really amazing views from an outstanding place.
This place houses epic pantheons and legendary constructions that add fantasy to the impressive views. For this reason, I recommend climbing the highest stairs in the place.
Admission is paid. I didn't see bathrooms. There's coffee.

Fantastic part of a great hike to the Vranoc castle. First you go to the viewpoint above the river and the Mala Skala village, then you visit this neoromantic Pantheon + old rock castle + great terrace with drinks and nice staff and then you walk over rocks to Vranov castle ruins!

We rented an Airbnb place near this castle and could see it from our patio. When we visited it, it was the most interesting place. One of the photos is from the vantage point of the castle looking at the village of Mala Skala where we stayed. You can climb all over the ruins as well as visit the inside of the chapel. Well worth the visit and free.

Very nice trip destination. Need to walk (no car parking, not wheelchair accessible, also not for small kids/baby carriages). Suitable only when sunny & not so windy days. When raining could be dangerous. But the views are magnificent and the hike there very beautiful.

Very nice ruin on top of a rock. The view is great. Being afraid of heights, the climb to the top was very challenging (I didn't reach the cross, but heard it was beautiful up there). We parked our car near castle Frýdštejn and walked the red route to Vranov, which is an excellent hike (takes about an hour).

Breathtaking views and fascinating centuries old rock castle. Must see - but only if you are physically capable of it. The rock stairs are supersteep and the trails are narrow but it's worth every moment of fear you might feel.
From Malá Skála (there is a parking lot near), you have to climb up the hill, first there are hundreds of wooden stairs and then the rock stairs but brace yourselves and go for it!

Old remnants of a chateau-fort. Panoramic vieuws. Small chapel. Unique; the guesttoilet ( male /female) is a medieval one. A hole in a piece of wood and it drops down of the rocks. ( no need to flush😁). Not for diabled people. Or people with walking disabilitys.

If you look a little pathetic, have no money, and don’t speak Czech, you get in basically for free. Very cool place, would definitely visit again

It was a very nice area but be prepared there is a fee entrance and they just only accept cash😅

If you have no money and lock a bit pathetic, you can get in free

So cool. Not big, doesn't take long, but is just cool

Awesome place, walking in czech landscapes is just great !!

Beautiful and interesting place, requires good physical condition

Very nice castle with amazing views of all the region around Malá Skála. There's also a small café for tired hikers arriving at the castle.

Very cool, park in Malá Skála public parking, trail starts by Farma Malá Skála store, we are at pizza place right next to it which I recommend. You need to hike uphill about 1.3ish km. Information available in English upon request. Nice laminated sheet explaining what you see.

A lovely pantheon with amazing but very thin paths.

Very nice castle ruin, narrow stairs, excelent views, cca 4 euro entry fee. Little bit extreme climbs but no problem for 5yr kids;).

Nice forest, good old ruins and stunning view at the highest point, definetelly recommend. 7 forest walk trips out of 7

We did not go the the ruin. We went to the other side to sea good view for the edge of a cliff
