Bělečský písník, Protected sand quarry in Běleč nad Orlicí, Czech Republic.
The Bělečský písník features a water surface surrounded by sandy beaches where visitors can swim during summer months near Hradec Králové.
The sand extraction activities in this location started in the second half of the 18th century, leading to the formation of this water body.
The sand quarry stands at 235 meters above sea level and functions as a natural monument, contributing to local environmental preservation efforts.
While part of the quarry maintains active sand mining operations, the remaining areas provide clean water suitable for swimming and recreational activities.
The natural area combines industrial heritage through ongoing sand extraction with protected status, creating an unconventional recreational environment.
