"Beautiful. Worth a hike. Very comfortable and not too demanding route from Doubí to Loket with a view on Svatoš Rocks. The reception is not great at some points, but the route is well marked. The first old bridge is out of order, have to follow the road by the camping and then cross the river via the new bridge."
Dominika Joanna
"Svatošské skály is a beautiful natural spot just outside Karlovy Vary and well worth the visit. The hike from Tašovice is about 3 km each way along a flat, paved path—perfect for families, strollers, or anyone looking for an easy walk. You can park your car in Tašovice and head out on foot from there 🏔.
The trail mostly follows the river, with peaceful views and lovely scenery the whole way. The rock formations themselves are impressive and make a great photo stop.
Just a bit further past the rocks, you’ll find Dětský ráj (Children’s Paradise) – a small natural recreation area where kids can play, adults can relax, and there’s even a snack bar and restrooms.
All in all, it’s a relaxing and scenic trip that’s great for nature lovers of all ages."
Cyntia Pethövá
"Quite an easy walk, with great views. We liked it, even for older people it is not difficult to walk and enjoy the beauty of nature. The small suspension bridge is really closed, and yet 300-400 m further along the river there is a large bridge through which you can cross to the other side."
