Andrejšky, Natural monument near Starý Plzenec, Czech Republic
Andrejšky is a natural monument featuring rock formations composed of silicite stone, located within a protected area in western Bohemia. The rugged terrain showcases various stone shapes sculpted by centuries of weathering and natural processes.
The site received official natural monument status in November 1975, establishing formal protection for this geological formation. This designation helped preserve the area from further development and damage.
Local educational programs utilize the rock formations to teach students about geological processes and natural preservation methods in the Czech landscape.
The area is accessible via marked hiking trails and climbing routes starting from Starý Plzenec that connect to nearby Radyně castle. Wear sturdy footwear since the rocky ground is uneven and requires careful footing throughout your visit.
The rock formations contain material over 500 million years old, displaying layers of ancient marine sediments from prehistoric seas. These geological layers reveal a time when this entire region was covered by ocean water.
