Vraní skály, Rock formation in Hrádek nad Nisou, Czech Republic.
The Rabensteine formation contains seven independent sandstone rocks rising approximately 500 meters above sea level in the Lusatian Mountains.
Professor Theodor Feller from Zittau completed the first documented climb of the formation in 1895, using specialized rope ladders with two companions.
The formation bears two names: Rabensteine in German and Vraní skály in Czech, reflecting the multilingual heritage of the border region.
Visitors access the formation through the southern approach via a green-marked trail, leading to views of Hrádek nad Nisou and surrounding landscapes.
A deep cleft separates the northern and southern sections of the formation, where volcanic activity fused the inner sandstone walls.
