   The symbolic cemetery was founded in memory of Czech climbers who died during mountain expeditions. The symbolic cemetery of climbers who tragically died while climbing in the mountains was established at the Mariánská Vyhlídka, about 1.5 km to the north from the Hrubá Skála Chateau, under the wall of Nekonečná Skála (Endless Rock). The original idea of Václav Karoušek, sculptor and climber, was brought to life after the tragedy in Peru in 1970, where he died.

   The rock relief carved in sandstone is located some 300 m to the north of the Hrubá Skála Chateau. It is situated in a rock gap, on the right, on the way to the Mariánská lookout point. The name of the rock formation (Adam's Bed) comes from its shape - it looks like a sofa. It was developed on order by František Adam - the brother of the last owner of the Hrubá Skála property from the Valdštejn family. The Adamovo Lože was a symbol of three Adams: Adam, the first male

   Adam of Valdštejn, the founder of the noble family; and František Adam.

   We will stop for a while at Hrubá Skála Château. The romantic château hotel of Hrubá Skála stands atop a sandstone rock, about 6 km south-east of Turnov. It used to be a castle. It was founded in the 14th century. At the end of the 16th century, the castle was converted into a Renaissance château. After a fire in 1710, it was reconstructed again, this time in a Baroque style, and finally, in the mid-19th century, it was converted in the Neo-Gothic style that we admire today. The former castle serves as a hotel today.
