Devil's Head - Devil's Head

Worth a climb. Amazing at sunset. Take care to have good athletic or trekking shoes, do not go there if it rains!!! the walk is short but steep and it becomes a muddy slide!!

I went to this area with a few colleagues for a little writing retreat. The hiking around was really lovely! Unfortunately, the weekend we went it was really rainy, so the path up and down to the Devils' Heads were verrrrrry slippery. It was manageable for us, but anyone with non-athletic mobility, it would be a bit of a struggle when wet. I recommend looking around the heads, then exploring behind the heads in the forest. It's so so peaceful, and there's lots to see!

Czech “Mt. Rushmore” huge, 9m tall stone heads curved in 1845 by V. Levy. You can walk/hike to some other objects he did in the close area. Just google V. Levy stone objects.

Stone sculptures are visible from the road below them and from the village above which they are located. You can choose steep and short route directly there (downhill may be 10 minutes) or go via forest and longer route up to two hours. Stones itself are sandy type and many people carve short messages and dates of their visit there.

It’s a nice space for hiking.

A very cool spot! Worth the visit if you're on your way from Prague to Germany or the other way around. The hike is short and nice and the scenery is quite beautiful on a clear day. We loved it!

Worth the hike / walk. If walking from Libechov, make sure you have safe distance from ongoing traffic. View of the Devil's Head is just nice. Fun fact- these two heads are second largest in the world after Mount Rushmore in USA.

The devil’s Head is situated near the Mělník city (little town, where the the House of Lobkowicz.is situated, castle, and lies at the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava rivers-worth to visit) , around 30km form Prague. Better to not going there on the highway, which is always full of traffic jam. The sculpture is carved in the limestone/sandstone and can be seen from the down also, where there you can park your car. There are two option the longer road to escalate to the sculpture or the shorter, which of course is harder and steeper, but be warned that in case of rain it is very bad to climb. There are some kind of sand and even in dry period is not good, especially if you go with sandal or open shoe. The sculpture was realized by the sculptor Václav Levý in the first half of the 19th century, and carved into sandstone rocks. The sculpture is a little eroded, by the weather of course, but still beauty and interesting. Some part reminded me of the Adventure movie Merlin, Valley of the Fallen Kings. Of course with a little fantasy ? The two head look to the little town Želízy, and a good panorama of the around, can be seen some hood of a power-energetical company.
