Tupadelské skály, Natural monument near Tupadly, Czech Republic.
The rock formations span 230 meters in length and reach heights of 15 meters, featuring black to dark gray siliceous stones intersected with white quartz veins.
The site received official protection status as a natural monument on January 11, 1967, through a declaration by the Klatovy District National Committee.
Horror novelist Christian Heinrich Spiess established a hermitage in these rocks after 1784, creating an artificial cemetery to enhance his writing environment.
Visitors can access the formations by following the green-marked hiking trail from Tupadly village, with an elevation ranging from 455 to 490 meters above sea level.
The rocks contain one of the largest outcrops of siliceous bands from the Barrandian Proterozoic period, formed over 600 million years ago in ancient oceans.
