Immediately after the entrance to the rock city, you have the opportunity to take a walk around the beautiful lake. A mostly natural path leads to a viewing point and a sandy beach. The circular route is worth it, as there are always great views over the lake in the Adršpach rock city.

The lakes are located in the Rudawy Landscape Park, in the area of former quarries that were once used to extract sandstone and granite. Thanks to natural processes and human influence, the quarries gradually filled with water, creating beautiful, colorful lakes. The lake gets this color from the copper compounds present in the subsoil. Entry to the Colorful Lakes area is free.
