Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Hady Quarry for its stunning panoramic views of Brno and its unique, almost 'alien' landscape with intriguing stone art. It's a serene natural escape, especially beautiful in autumn, perfect for walks and photography. However, the lack of facilities and unfenced quarry edges require visitors to be well-prepared and cautious.
"Great walking paths and views of Brno from top of old quarry. A lot of nature and stone art around. Quite serene place."
Starh Lady
"Good place for a walk - you can take a bus and get off at one side of walking road, and then walk to the other side and take another bus to get home.
Nature with all the colors was especially nice in autumn. There are a lot of view sports where people can take nice pictures, as Hády is basically a specific name for former quarry place next to Brno. Sport shoes required."

"A very strange environment. Worth visiting just to see Brno from above and enjoy this alien landscape. Although there are no facilities so be prepared with food for example."
