Čtyři palice, Nature reserve in Březiny, Czech Republic.

Čtyři palice is a nature reserve in Březiny featuring several distinct rock formations with their own names. The largest formation is Paličatá, where massive stone blocks are separated by natural gaps, while other formations display different geological structures.

The area was declared a nature reserve in 1990 to protect orthogneiss rock formations shaped by frost weathering, with boulder fields and original spruce-beech forest. The reserve covers 37.25 ha and is managed by the AOPK ČR regional office of the Žďárské vrchy protected landscape area administration.

The four blocks atop Paličatá are named, from left to right, Sfinga, Kobyla, Paličák and Bašta, and the gaps between them Jukadlo, Zásek and Sedánek. Climbers know the main rock simply as Paličatá, and the Czech Mountaineering Union registers 51 climbing routes on it.

The reserve is accessible by following marked trails from the villages of Milovy or Křižánky. The nearest parking is available in the village of České Milovy.

The main rock, Čtyřpaličatá, is 50 m long with a nearly vertical west wall up to 33 m high, broken in its lower third by a ledge called Ochoz. Its four summit blocks are named, left to right, Sfinga, Kobyla, Paličák and Bašta; the gaps between them are Jukadlo, Zásek and Sedánek.
