Český kras Protected Landscape Area, Protected limestone area in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic.
The Czech Karst spans 130 square kilometers between Prague and Beroun, featuring limestone formations, deep valleys, and more than 700 natural caves.
The area gained protected status in 1972 and contains geological layers from the Silurian and Devonian periods, dating back 400 million years.
The 19th-century geologist Joachim Barrande conducted extensive research on fossils in this region, contributing to paleontological understanding.
Visitors can explore numerous hiking trails along the Berounka River, visit the Koneprusy Cave system, or discover the medieval Karlstejn Castle.
The limestone landscape supports rare thermophilic plants and animals, including one of the last European ground squirrel populations in Czech Republic.
