Besedické skály, Rock formation in Bohemian Paradise, Czech Republic
The sandstone formations of Besedické skály contain three distinct rock cities: Besedické, Kalich, and Chléviště, with towers reaching heights of 20 meters.
Following the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, Czech Protestant Brothers used these rock formations as hiding places and established a rock chapel for their services.
The rock chapel within Kalich contains carved biblical verses and chalice symbols from 1634, preserving the legacy of Czech Protestant traditions.
Marked hiking trails connect multiple viewing platforms, including Husníkova and Vysoká skála, offering views of the Jizera Valley and distant landmarks like Bezděz.
Within Chléviště, the largest of the three rock cities, numerous caves, crevices, and passages create a natural labyrinth through towering sandstone formations.
