Petrovy skály, Natural monument near Chvalatice, Czech Republic.

The three massive rock formations rise seven meters high within the national nature reserve of Praděd in the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range.

The rock formations marked the historical land border with Moravia and became a protected natural area in January 2014.

Local stories from the 17th century connect these rocks to witch trials, with tales of gatherings taking place at the summit.

Visitors must remain on marked paths due to conservation regulations that protect the rare mosses, lichens, and endemic plant species.

This geological formation stands at the European watershed between the Baltic Sea and Black Sea, feeding into the Morava and Odra rivers.

Location: Chvalatice
