Adršpach-Teplice Rocks

The Adršpach-Teplice Rocks ( _cs. Adršpašskoteplické skály) are an unusual set of sandstone rock formations, covering an area of 17 km² in northeastern Bohemia, Czech Republic. They are named after two nearby municipalities: Adršpach and Teplice nad Metují. The rocks have been protected as a national nature reserve since 1933 and the whole adjacent region of Broumovsko has a status of protected landscape area since 1991.Tourist may visit them on a number of marked trails. The area is also a popular destination for rock climbers.

In recent years, it has become somewhat of a focus for the high risk climbing-related sport of rock jumping. [NY Times, [http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/11/sports/othersports/11jump.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss "With Luck, a Rocky Landing"] , 11 July 2008. ]
