Choustnik: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The diverse facets of Choustník range from nature and castle history to religious life. Distinctive rocks, historic walls and a church steeped in tradition give the town different sides that can be explored through dedicated topics.

Nature and Rocks

The Choustnické skály can be reached from the car park behind the village of Choustník by following the green-marked path leading to the castle, which takes about 15 minutes on foot. A green-marked hiking trail runs along the edge of the Choustník Nature Reserve.

The Choustník Nature Reserve encompasses a rocky landscape formed by progressive weathering and surrounded by old-growth woodland. The rock consists of coarse-grained Choustník orthogneiss with prominent black tourmaline inclusions. The Choustník Nature Reserve was designated in 1949 and covers 9.9 hectares. The Choustnické skály offer almost every form of climbing.
