Ptačí Kupy, Nature reserve in Hejnice, Czech Republic.
Located at an elevation of 1013 meters, Ptačí Kupy features granite rock formations surrounded by dense forests of beech and spruce trees.
The Ministry of Education and Culture established Ptačí Kupy as a protected area in 1960, leading to its designation as a nature reserve in 1965.
The name Ptačí Kupy originates from medieval bird catching activities that were commonly practiced in this mountainous region.
Visitors can reach the observation point solely by foot, accessing the reserve through marked trails that connect to the surrounding Jizera Mountains.
The northern slopes contain the highest continuous acidophilic European beech forest formation within the entire Jizera Mountains range.
