The Gothic Gate, stairs and network of paths were built by Ludwig Karl Nadherny-Borutin in 1839.

Through the Gothic Gate in a narrow gorge you can get directly to Elephant Square coming from the direction of Adršpach

June 11, 2025, Myší Díra (Mäuseloch) Narrow Rock Passage

After passing the mayor and his wife, the path leads us into the narrow, mysterious mouse hole. Through a roughly 50-centimeter-wide gap between high rock walls, we descend into the expanse of the protective forest.

The Golem is the name given to a figure in Jewish literature and mysticism in Central Europe since the early Middle Ages. It is a mute, humanoid creature created from clay by wise men using the mysticism of letters. It is often of immense size and strength and capable of carrying out orders. It is subject to its creator/master and has no free will. (Wikipedia) You can really recognize it in the rocks; hopefully, it won't wake up again 😬😜

At an altitude of 853m, the Errant Rocks are a very interesting rock formation, creating a natural labyrinth (don't get lost!) – the crevices between the rocks are often very narrow. Many of these rocks have their own names, such as the Rocky Saddle and the Great Hall. Don't miss the Rocky Chalices, a viewpoint from which you can see Szczeliniec.
