I took these photos back in 2011, during my stay in Jičín, Czech Republic.
The city is often called the "Gate to the Bohemian Paradise" because it sits right on the border of a Protected Landscape Area extending 95 square kilometers west of Jičín.
Prachov Rocks, inside the Bohemian Paradise, is particularly noteworthy because of the rock formations made of sandstone that populate the area. I learned that the wind and the rain, tirelessly for 60 million years, eroded an original sandstone plateau into an amazing and unique rock forest with ravines, gullies, and gorges.
Prachov Rocks is a rare find, a unique ecosystem of mutual connections between the rock town, the forest environment, the plants, and the wild animals.
