Obranné Skály are dramatic sandstone cliffs and rock towers above Nové Město nad Metují offering intimate geological textures, carved passages and sweeping valley panoramas. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-lighting; autumn and spring add color and misty mornings enhance atmosphere. Access via short forest trails from the town (park in Nové Město nad Metují) — moderate hike with some scrambling; no special permits typically required. Weekdays and early mornings avoid local visitors.
