The village of Adrspach is the starting point, serving as a charming gateway to what some have described as a true “land of Narnia.” Once there, you’re led through a maze of towering rock formations with quirky names like Lovers, Sugar Bread, and Tooth Karkonosch—each with its own story or visual appeal.
