Aksamitova brána, Natural arch in Český kras, Czech Republic.
The limestone arch forms a prominent gateway in the landscape, standing as the largest natural arch formation in the Český kras Protected Area.
The structure represents remnants of an ancient cave entrance that existed until the 19th century, when its roof collapsed and sealed underground passages.
The natural arch received its name from Jan Axamit, connecting the geological formation to local heritage through personal recognition.
Visitors can reach the arch by following marked hiking trails from Králův Dvůr district, specifically starting from the Popovice section via yellow trail markers.
The arch sits near a prehistoric Bronze Age settlement on Kotýz hill, where evidence indicates Celtic worship of the Thracian goddess Kotys.
