Vlčí jámy, Natural monument in Potůčky, Czech Republic.
The natural monument features two deep depressions formed by medieval tin mines on the southwestern slopes of Blatenský vrch at 997 meters elevation.
In 1813, ice from the Ledová jáma depression was used to treat soldiers wounded in the Battle of Leipzig during the Napoleonic Wars.
The red tourist trail leading to the site bears the name of Anton Günther, a German folk poet and singer who lived from 1876 to 1937.
Visitors can access the site via two marked observation points along a 1.5-kilometer trail starting from the town of Horní Blatná.
The Vlčí jáma depression contains the only known location in the Czech Republic where the critically endangered Mielichhofer's copper moss grows.
