The Prachov Rocks (Czech: Prachovské skály) are a rock formation in the Czech Republic
approximately 5 kilometres west of Jičín.Since 1933, they have been a protected
natural reserve. The region where the formations are located is called Bohemian Paradise,
Český ráj in Czech. The formations are made of sandstone, originally in the
form of a plateau. Since its formation over 60 million years ago, the rock has
been eroded by wind and rain into the unique forms found at the site.
Several of the individual rock towers have inspired names due to their
appearance, such as the Leaning Tower, Devil's Kitchen, the Monk, the Elephant,
and the Eagle.The area is accessible year-round, but only on foot. There are
several hiking trails, including a long route that takes approximately two hours.
