Lačnovské skály, Sandstone rock area in the Vizovická vrchovina, Czech Republic
Lačnovské skály (also Trčkovy skály) is a small sandstone rock area on the Vizovická vrchovina, made up of three sectors: Horní skály in the north, Dolní skály in the south and the smaller Prostřední skály between them, a few hundred metres apart. The rocks reach up to 14 m (Horní about 10 m) and are covered with many honeycomb weathering cavities.
The formations became linked to the tramp movement during the 1940s, a youth movement that embraced the Valašsko mountain landscapes as gathering places. This connection helped establish the site as socially important within regional history and local memory.
From the 1940s the rocks were linked to tramping in the Valašsko region, and they were visited mainly by the freer-thinking tramps, who preferred the site's remote position. The rocks lie on the Vařákovy paseky nature trail, and the name Trčkovy skály is also used for them.
The site is accessible via marked trails starting from Lačnov village, with different routes offering varying difficulty levels and walking times. Good footwear and basic navigation skills are helpful, as the terrain is rocky and includes steep sections.
The rocks are covered with numerous honeycomb weathering cavities, called voštiny in Czech, formed by wind and rain erosion of the sandstone. The Lower Rocks reach about 14 m, the Upper ones around 10 m.
