Paradise Nature Reserve
The Czech Paradise Nature Reserve (Cesky raj) in Eastern Bohemia is a
natural area characterized by unique rock formations, old castles, and
historic buildings. It was declared a UNESCO Geopark in 2005. Sandstone
hills and natural bridges, as well as basalt columns and outcroppings are
some of the natural wonders of the Czech Paradise Nature Reserve. Hiking
trails allow visitors to explore the park on foot. A drive through the
Cesky raj will reveal a number of ancient castles and chateaus dating back
to the 13th Century. The main town servicing the park is Turnov, where the
visitor information center for the Czech Paradise Nature Reserve is
located.
Krkonose
National Park
The Krkonose (Giant Mountains) are the highest mountains in Bohemia.
Krkonose National Park (Krkonossky Narodni Park) was established in 1962
to protect the numerous bird species and extensive flora that includes
rare trees. The area is now listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reservation.
Inside the park visitors will find the small spa town, Janske Lazne, and
the ski resorts of Psindleruv Mlyn and Pec pod Snezkou. In addition to
skiing the park is also a popular area for hiking, with huts on the trails,
and bird watching. Birds are drawn to the park for the peat bogs. The most
popular hike in the mountains is the Harrach path, which is only open
during the summer months.
The landscape of the park is characterized by rounded mountains, peat bogs,
cliffs and waterfalls.
