- Adršpach Lake (Adršpašské jezírko) — a small emerald pool tucked between towering sandstone pillars; the still water makes perfect mirror shots and in summer you can rent a tiny rowboat to drift among the rocks. (Personal favorite — there’s something ridiculously peaceful about that reflection.)
- The Sandstone Labyrinth — miles of vertical towers and narrow alleys that feel like walking inside a stone city; the scale and the maze-like paths, with stairs and wooden bridges, are what set this place apart from ordinary forest hikes.
