Follow the red and yellow tourist trails leading to the castle ruin from the parking site with a refreshment stall below the Valecov castle. The Valecov castle dates back to the 2nd half of the 13th century and it was first recorded in writing in 1316-18. The Slavic name of the place reminds of a former fortified place. The castle lying on three sandstone rocks was partially cut into a rocky massive and was first mainly wooden. In the 14th century a huge brick palace was built which was enlarged in the 16th century. The castle was deserted after 1652.
A commemorative plate, placed on a rock to the left of the access stairs to the cash desk, draws our attention to the stays of a romanticist poet Karel Hynek Macha. Today, Valecov is owned by the Bosen village and the sight-seeing tour is guided. You can see far away in the distance from the castle. The St. Vaclav Church in the nearby Bosen can be seen too. It was built in the Baroque style in 1729. In the cemetery at the church you can find graves reminding you of a battle at Muzsky from the Prussian - Austrian war in 1866 and the grave of a well-known promulgator of tourism and skiing, Ales Lyzec.
Follow the red trail from the castle through an area of rock flats, rooms, workshops and cowsheds which were inhabited as late as at the end of the last century. Walk along the red trail through the Bunclava hamlet to the cross-roads at Skalka. The red trail leads through rocky ravines. Ascend to the edge of a large plateau. The first interesting place here is Klamorna to which there is a short turning. At Klamorna you can find remnants of a medieval castle (ramparts, moats, rocky rooms and a cistern).
The trail continues to the plateau called Hrada, a place of settlement from the Neolithic. It was settled by the people of urn fields in the Iron Age, by Celts and Slavs. Stop at Drabske svetnicky, a rocky castle from the end of the 13th century. The rock blocks were interconnected by wooden buildings. Eighteen cut rooms have been preserved. The castle was a strategic point of "orphan" army troops that left it after the Battle of Lipany. It was used as a prayer room of non-Catholics in the time of counter-reformation. (Entrance fee and a guide)
The blue trail leads from Drabske svetnicky and you can return along it through Dneboh and Zasadka (possibility of refreshment) to the starting point at the parking site below the Valecov castle. When walking past Dneboh bellow Drabske svetnicky, you will walk through an area of Kavcina which suffered a destructive landslide on June 27, 1926. Eleven houses were destroyed and trees growing askew can be seen up to these days.
The basic trail leads along the red and blue trails through a rocky cleft called Studeny pruchod - Cold Passage and along the plateau edge to the Na Krasne vyhlidce (Belle Vue) restaurant (possibility of refreshment). A natural point of interest - Trhlinova propast - Rift Abyss - is not far from the restaurant and the area in front of the restaurant offers an attractive view of Jested, the Jizera valley, the Turnov region and the Zabakor pond.
Our trail continues along the green tourist trail below the Muzsky hill (463). The solitary basalt hill in the middle of a sandstone plateau can be accessed if you turn from the green trail. There is a beautiful panoramic view from the top. Because of its dominating position, Muzsky used to be a place of large gatherings of people.
The Muzsky hamlet is very interesting too. There are mainly timbered buildings with a group of full-grown lime and chestnut trees. The beautiful belfry in the middle was restored using traditional procedures. The core of the hamlet was declared a village conservation reserve in 1995.
The green trail leads form Muzsky along a narrow road to the road fork at Skalka. From Skalka, you can reach the starting point at the parking site below the Valecov castle along the already described red trail through the castle. You can also use the green marked biking trail through Zasadka (possibility of refreshment).
