Besedické skály
Narrow passages, shade between rocks and views over the Jizera. Besedice is a trip for those who like to see the route between the main destinations.
Besedické skály is a rugged sandstone landscape near Besedice in Maloskalsk. When planning, you will mainly come across the names Kalich and Chléviště. At Kalich, there is a chalice motif carved into the rock, while Chléviště is connected with rock passages and viewpoints. These are not two distant expeditions, but parts of the area, the connection of which depends on the selected marked route.
Why count on slower progress
In the rock maze, distance isn't just measured in kilometers. Stairs, narrow passages and repeated stops can slow the pace significantly. It is more practical for a group to agree to wait at a crossroads than to rely on everyone seeing each other all the time. From the viewpoints, you can compare the rocky landscape with the Jizera valley; however, distant horizons depend on visibility.
An idea for your day
Allocate three hours for one well-thought-out walking route, snacks and stops at viewpoints. With the children, look for the difference between the natural rock wall and the machined site at Kalich, without adding anything to the stone.
Things to know
Are Kalich and Chléviště part of Besedické rocks?
Yes, these are the two known parts of this rocky area. When choosing a circuit, observe their specific continuity in the markings.
Does it make sense to add another castle on the same day?
Yes, if you have enough time and energy. But the rocks alone can comfortably fill the main part of the day, especially at a slower pace.
