Podloučky

Podloučky is a natural monument near Klokočí featuring rock formations that rise approximately 45 meters (150 feet) and create distinct habitats within the site. The area consists of sandstone cliffs with varied shapes that define the landscape and provide homes for specialized plants and animals.

The area received protected status in November 2010, which marked the beginning of formal conservation efforts for the site. This designation ensured that the rock formations and their ecosystems would be safeguarded from future disturbance.

Local people have long understood these rock formations as part of their natural heritage and speak of them as landmarks in the area. Visitors today notice how the shapes have captured the imagination of residents who see them reflected in local names and stories.

The site offers marked footpaths and footbridges that allow visitors to move through the area safely and comfortably. Wearing sturdy shoes is recommended since the ground can be uneven and slippery, especially when wet.

In spring, snowflakes bloom across the protected area in large numbers, transforming the rocky landscape into a carpet of delicate flowers. Many visitors miss this seasonal display even though it becomes one of the most visible features during that time.
