Bílé kameny, Natural monument in Jítrava, Czech Republic.
Bílé kameny is a natural monument featuring white sandstone rock formations near Jítrava. The rocks display distinctive shapes carved by erosion over geological time, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding woodland.
The site gained protected status in 1955 as the government recognized the geological importance of the formations. This designation established ongoing conservation measures for the sandstone structures.
The name Sloní kameny, or Elephant Stones, comes from local residents who see animal shapes in the white rock formations.
The monument is accessible via marked walking trails that connect to the main road in the area. Parking facilities are available nearby for visitors to explore the site at their own pace.
The white sandstone formations were shaped by erosion processes working over millennia, creating grooves and cavities that resemble carved sculptures. These natural patterns reveal how water and weather slowly transformed the solid rock face.
