Route from Hotel Hubertus
The map shows the route from the hotel to the trip destination. Open it in Google Maps to adjust transport and stops along the way.
Svatošské skály (known in German lore as the Hans Heiling rocks) is a striking rock formation above the Ohře that, according to legend, was created when the wedding procession of the sorcerer Jan Svatoš turned to stone. A comfortable path follows the river — an ideal easy trip where children enjoy spotting the bride, groom and musicians in the rocks.
It is only a short hop from the hotel (about 15–20 minutes) and pairs nicely with a visit to Loket. There is also a restaurant right by the rocks. We have more trip tips ready for you.
