Prírodný park Peklo, Nature park in Liberec District, Czech Republic
Prírodný park Peklo is a nature reserve in Liberec District marked by dramatic rock cliffs and narrow gorges cutting through the landscape. The valley extends over several kilometers and is shaped by the Karba River, which has carved through rock formations of significant scale.
The area served as a refuge throughout centuries of Central European conflict and upheaval. Multiple historical conflicts left marks on the region, yet the natural landscape endured and continues to define the valley today.
The park is a favored destination for local hikers seeking connection with nature. Visitors come here to experience the wild landscape and explore the dramatic rock formations that shape the valley.
The park is accessible through marked walking trails that include footbridges and passages through rock formations. Visitors should wear proper footwear as the paths are uneven and require crossing streams in some sections.
The southern section of the valley is home to the Karba settlement, where houses are built directly into the rock faces. This unusual construction shows how people adapted to the dramatic terrain over time.
