Čertova rokle - Dřevčice

Narrow gorge, beautiful rocks and creek that damaged the bridges on the footpath. Drinking water in the Ras well. Near Poor Castle. I recommend.

We rode our bikes because we read that it is suitable for cyclists. Under no circumstances do you ride bikes there ... you will carry them halfway. But nature is beautiful there!

Lots cut down and difficult journey

The magical valley was severely affected by tree breaks and upheavals. Probably these have on their account the destruction of the unique Devil's Well, from which I could not find any remains.

After descending from Dřevčice to the foot of the valley, a board awaits you, on which the Forests of the Czech Republic inform you about how the picturesque path through the valley was reconstructed at the beginning of the 21st century. Unfortunately, nature was not inclined to change and probably some big water took away most (perhaps dozens) of beautiful wooden bridges and jammed them downstream in all sorts of possible places. Even a series of shore pillars, built of stones inserted into wire cages, were able to carry the current away from its original places. A number of improvised overcoming streams await the tourist. To complete the tragedy, a windstorm came in the autumn of 2017, which covered part of the valley with uprooted tree trunks. During a visit in March 2018, we weaved a very adventurous route. In the part of the valley downstream, this calamity is being removed. The once overgrown valley is now sunless with trees, but the surface is furrowed with tractor tires, muddy and very difficult to reach. The reward for overcoming these obstacles is a climb to the picturesque Chudý hrádek, bravely towering on the rocks above the valley.

The way for the brave but worth it.

A good many trees across the road and need to climb.

Nice walk, we used the bus. We left the car in Holany, took a bus to Dřevčice and then walked along the gorge and along the stream in the direction of Holany. In the summer heat, a pleasant walk through the cool valley along the water.
