We set out to find the cool rock formations in the Czech Republic called Adrspach rocks, but it wasn't easy to get there. We drove smoothly from Poland and across the Sudeten Mountains into the Czech Republic, but the road leading to Adrspach was closed.

We had no expectations of the city of Olomouc at all. Perhaps because we hadn't even heard of the place until very recently. Wow, what a surprise! We can really, really recommend this little hidden gem. Cosy alleys, impressive historical buildings and a fantastic restaurant.
