Dokeská pahorkatina

The Dokeská pahorkatina extends across 753 square kilometers, featuring sandstone formations, clay deposits, and numerous hills reaching elevations between 145 and 614 meters.

During the Thirty Years' War, this region contained dense forests that provided shelter for outlaws, including the notorious robber Stetka who established hideouts in local caves.

The landscape has generated numerous regional tales about robber Stetka, leading to the creation of educational nature trails that connect historical sites with geological formations.

Visitors can access five distinct districts within Dokeská pahorkatina, including Polomené hory and Bezdězská vrchovina, through an established network of hiking paths and local roads.

The Heavenly Pond within this region serves as a protected breeding ground for the great crested newt and multiple amphibian species under the NATURA 2000 program.
