Castles and Rocks

The last time I was in Česky Raj was about a week before I met Leoš.  It was during Covid and people were only traveling within the Czech Republic.  It was nice to return to the area after the world has gotten back to normal after Covid. We went to 3 different areas in Česky Raj.  First we went to Velečovské Skalní Byty, an area that had several stone "apartments".  I remember going to this area 4 years ago, but I didn't make it to the "apartments" area.  It was pretty cool to explore around them this time around.   Then we went to Hrad Trosky, an area I had never been to.  It was cool to see the ruins of the castle and walk up the steep stairs to get to the view point.  It was really nice to see all the valleys around the area.  They even put on a show for kids in the area.  The last stop we made was to Hruboskalsko, an area where we saw really tall stones. There were so many narrow passageways between the stones. People were climbing the really tall stones and it was a bit nerve wrecking to look at them.  It was such a neat area to walk around and we had to walk in between the stones to get to other parts of the area.  The view points were really nice and it was great to have a weekend in nature.
