The Pillars of the Bohemian Paradise : Sandstone Towers in the Czech Republic

Breathtaking sandstone formations rise near Prague.

About an hour northeast of Prague, the Bohemian Paradise is one of the most popular destinations in the Czech Republic. The protected area covers more than 700 square kilometers. The expanse offers a rich variety of natural diversity and is serviced by a number of picturesque towns. Of special interest are the Prachov Rocks, a plateau that eroded into breathtaking natural spires.

After visiting manmade spires in Prague, explore natural spires in the full-color photos of The Pillars of the Bohemian Paradise: Sandstone Towers in the Czech Republic (a Travel Photo Art book).
