Ostaš, Nature reserve in Žďár nad Metují, Czech Republic
The reserve features sandstone formations with intricate rock labyrinths, cliffs, and narrow canyons spread across multiple hiking trails in the Broumov region.
The Czech government designated Ostaš as a protected nature reserve in June 1956 to safeguard its geological formations and diverse ecological systems.
Local residents maintain traditional conservation practices through educational programs and guided walks that showcase the reserve's geological importance.
The reserve maintains marked paths through rock formations and caves, requiring sturdy footwear and basic physical fitness for safe exploration.
Natural erosion processes carved unusual rock shapes throughout the reserve, creating passages and hidden caves within the table mountain structure.
