A nature lover’s paradise: Hiking through Drbákov-Albertovy skály

One of the most popular lookout spots on the River Vltava is in the hills of the Central Bohemian Upland, about an hour’s drive south of Prague.

In the southwestern part of the Drbákov-Albertovy skály nature reserve there are up to 1,000 red yew trees.

The most interesting parts of the reserve feature a 7.4 km circular nature trail, which starts at the U Křížku car park. Occasionally the river’s surface flashes through the trees before finally the view of the Vltava opens up to its full extent and walkers come out at the Tis (Yew) lookout spot.
