Polické stěny, Nature reserve in Božanov, Czech Republic
The Polické stěny reserve extends across sandstone formations with deep valleys, rocky outcrops, and forest-covered plateaus in northeastern Bohemia.
In 2009, this section was separated from the Broumovské stěny National Nature Reserve to create a distinct protected area focusing on specific geological features.
Local communities maintain a network of marked hiking paths through the reserve, connecting various geological formations and observation points.
Visitors can access the reserve through multiple entry points near Božanov, with designated parking areas and information boards at main trailheads.
The reserve contains two accessible pseudokarst caves in Kovářova Gorge, formed by natural erosion processes in the sandstone formations.
