The locality is also interesting from the hydrologic point of view, as it forms two catchment areas, the Libuňka catchment in the north and the Žehrovka catchment in the south. Tourists can buy refreshments and put up tents on the bank and swim in the river.

The Baba and Panna towers (Old Hag and Virgin) offer beautiful views of the picturesque Bohemian Paradise landscape and the surrounding regions.  The castle was built on a former volcano. In July and August visitors can see not only the castle but also examples of breeding and training of birds of prey.
