The image shows rock dwellings or rock-cut cellars, which are common in the sandstone rock regions
of the Czech Republic. These areas, often referred to as "rock cities," are found in nature reserves
such as Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj), particularly the Prachov Rocks (Prachovské skály)
and Adršpach-Teplice. These formations are primarily located in the north and east of the
Czech Republic, near the Polish border. These gigantic sandstone formations formed millions
of years ago on the ocean floor and were subsequently shaped by erosion from wind and rain. In addition to natural caves and gorges, human structures, castles, and dwellings have also been carved into the rocks throughout history, many of which are now tourist attractions.
