Obří skály, Mountain summit in Hrubý Jeseník range, Czech Republic.
The granite rock formations of Obří skály rise between 10 to 16 meters high, featuring weathered surfaces with grooves, caps, and a natural rock window.
Until the late 1970s, dense spruce forest covered the rock formations until a powerful windstorm removed the trees, exposing the geological structures underneath.
Local folklore tells of a giant named Amík who split the rock formation in half after losing a boulder-throwing competition with another giant.
Visitors can access the summit through marked green and blue hiking trails from Ramzová station, located 4.7 kilometers from the rock formations.
The summit area, protected within Šerák-Keprník nature reserve, contains valuable minerals including staurolite and garnet within its metamorphic rock structure.
