Top 20 Natural Monuments around Vysočina

Natural monument above the village of Rohozná. A granite rock wall with a distinct bench-like structure that was formed by the action of tropical and frost weathering. Stone seas also developed nearby. There are remnants of original hemlock stands on the slope.

Lisovská skála is an 802 meter high peak in the Žďárské vrchy mountain range. It is located three kilometers southwest of the settlement of Křižánky in the district of Žďár nad Sázavou and one kilometer southeast of Devíti skal. The peak is made of gneiss rock, which is a natural monument. The peak is wooded, without a view. Rather than a separate peak, it is the western sub-peak of Křovina (830 m above sea level), 1.2 km away.

Nine Rocks (836 m a.s.l.) is the highest point of the Žďárské vrchy, the second highest point in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. In 1976 it was declared a natural monument. The rock formation is located about 3.5 km southeast of the village of Herálec. The name Nine Rocks is derived from the nine rock formations scattered within a radius of 1 kilometer, which form a rock city-type grouping. The entire formation was formed by processes of frost weathering in the older Quaternary. At that time, a group of three separate rock ridges was dissected, along fissures divided into a series of blocks with nine larger and three smaller peaks. The rock walls reach a height of up to 15 m.

Beautiful views, peace and admirable natural formations. All this is hidden in the Malinská skála, which starts in the Nine Rocks and stretches further east. From the top you can see Blatiny, Křižánky, Samotín, Buchtův kopec, Drátőkny or Čtyři palice. It is a group of gneiss rocks in the Žďárské vrchy, which reach a height of up to 20 m, arranged in a circle around the top, in which interesting niches and fissure caves have been formed by weathering. Among the most important rock formations are Výspa, Srnčí věž, Škuner and Buldok. If you follow the red hiking trail, you will be greeted by beautiful nature that is characterized by a number of protected animals (common buzzard, great raven, great horned owl, speckled nuthatch) and plants (curvy broom, sour sorrel, spiny fern) including a distinctive group of boulders . And when you reach your destination, you can enjoy the view of the highest peak of the Žďárské vrchy – Nine Rocks. This natural monument is a frequent destination for tourists, cyclists and climbers (for this sport only from July to December). In winter, you can meet enthusiastic cross-country skiers here.

The valleys of Loučky and Bobrůvka stretch between the villages of Strážek, Střížeš and Skryje (approx. 10 km northwest of Tišnov). Approximately in the middle of this valley is Trenckova Rokle. The beginning of the journey would logically be offered in the village of Skryje. On the one hand, the red sign leads from there. The transport from Tišnov here is not bad either. Well, I don't think the journey itself is that interesting, personally I'm in favor of the route from Drahonín. You can reach the red sign from Drahonín by following a dirt road, basically after getting off the bus it is enough to continue along the road, after a few meters it becomes a dirt road and after about two and a half kilometers you will be at the red sign near Šafránkova mlýn. There is also a nice view of the surroundings from this path, which we won't be able to enjoy in the valley. I personally rank the road from here to the Trenck Gorge as one of the most beautiful tourist roads around Brno. For a while by the Loučka river, for a while on the slope above the river. Various obstacles await us on the slope in the form of fallen trees, sloping rocks and various elevations. However, be careful - in winter, under snow cover, I would not recommend going this part of the road in any case. The road is really on a slope, in addition on smooth rock in places, in combination with snow it is quite dangerous.

This is beautiful and very impressive. Real art 😊

The eyes are carved in a triangle about 2.5 meters high and bear the golden letters Enter and Exit.

The “Golden Eyes” relief is the third sculptural work of the “National Wiretapping Monument” and was unveiled on September 14, 2007 in a flooded granite quarry called “Hřeben I” (the name Brejle is given on the author's website).
