Vidoule, Natural monument in Jinonice, Czech Republic.
Vidoule is a protected natural area in Jinonice featuring sandstone walls rising approximately 30 meters high with visible geological layers. The site spans multiple hillside sections, each displaying distinct rock formations and natural structures.
The site received official protected status in July 1988, establishing it as a recognized natural monument. This designation secured the preservation of its natural features for future generations.
Local organizations, particularly the ZaPět platform, actively work to protect the area from urban development through community engagement and advocacy.
Access is available via two walking routes: a natural path along the base and an upper trail with views from the ridge. Wear sturdy footwear and respect the protected status, as this area requires careful handling by all visitors.
The area provides habitat for endangered steppe mollusks adapted to live among the specific rock formations. These creatures depend on the particular geological conditions found only in a few locations nearby.
