Rašovický zlom – Chobot, Nature reserve in Rašovice, Czech Republic.
Rašovický zlom - Chobot is a nature reserve near Rašovice featuring exposed rock walls and fracture patterns visible in the landscape. The geological formations show where the earth's crust has shifted and exposed different layers of stone.
The area was protected in 1990 to preserve its geological features. The fracture zone itself formed millions of years ago through tectonic shifts deep beneath the earth's surface.
The reserve serves as an outdoor classroom where students and researchers study the geological processes that shaped the Czech landscape over millions of years.
Marked trails guide visitors through the protected area and show the main geological exposures. Sturdy footwear is recommended as the paths cross rocky and uneven terrain.
The geological fault line within the reserve provides scientists with direct evidence of past tectonic movements in the Central European region.
