Radotínské údolí

Radotínské údolí is a nature reserve covering approximately 98 hectares with forested areas and rocky outcrops where the Radotínský and Mlýnský streams meet. The terrain slopes through valleys and ridges, creating varied habitats within a relatively compact space.

The area received official protection status in 1950 when designated as a nature reserve by government authorities. This decision reflected growing awareness of the need to preserve natural and geological features in the region.

Scientists regularly conduct research in this area to study the geological formations and fossils dating back to the Devonian period.

The reserve is open for hiking and nature observation, with a protection zone extending roughly 50 meters beyond the marked boundaries. Visitors should wear suitable footwear for uneven terrain and be prepared for changing weather conditions.

The valley preserves distinctive geological layers from the Devonian period that hold importance for scientific study of ancient marine environments. Researchers value this site for the rare opportunity to examine fossils and rock formations that reveal information about life millions of years ago.
