Peliny, Nature reserve in Choceň, Czech Republic
The protected area spans 3.31 hectares of land, featuring sandstone cliffs that rise up to 35 meters above the Tichá Orlice river.
The reserve received its name from Pel's Mill, a structure first documented in 1407, and gained official protected status on March 4, 1948.
The sandstone formations within the reserve include notable shapes, such as one resembling a camel, which draws visitors to observe natural geological processes.
Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails leading to Doskočilova viewpoint, where they can observe the surrounding landscape and geological formations.
The reserve contains rare plant species including Staphyllea pinnata and Lilium martagon, along with specialized mollusks adapted to the limestone environment.
