Bobří soutěska, Natural monument in Verneřice, Czech Republic

Bobří soutěska is a shaded erosion gorge cut by Bobří potok into a basalt body in the České středohoří, on the border of the Ústí and Liberec regions. It holds two waterfalls: a foaming 2 m high, 4 m wide fall issuing from a fissure below the ruins of Čertův mlýn, and a 6 m fall nearby.

Coal was prospected on the right bank of Bobří potok in 1860–1861, below the former Čertův mlýn and the vanished village of Starosti; the gallery reached a brown-coal seam unfit for burning and later collapsed. The site was declared protected by the Děčín district council on 17 May 1968 and the Česká Lípa council on 5 April 1968, initially as a 0.66 ha protected natural formation including the waterfall.

The name Bobří soutěska refers to the Bobří stream that cut the gorge; bobr means beaver in Czech. The green-marked trail from Kravaře to Verneřice passes both waterfalls, and the smaller one foams out of a fissure in the basalt beneath the ruins of the former Čertův mlýn (Devil's Mill).

Access is from Verneřice via marked hiking trails that cross the stream on wooden bridges and well-kept paths. The site is easiest to visit during warmer months when the ground is dry and stable.

The smaller waterfall, 2 m high and 4 m wide, seeps from a fissure in the basalt beneath the ruins of Čertův mlýn (Devil's Mill); a second fall nearby is 6 m high but carries less water. The two falls mark the course of the stream through the gorge.
