May 2015 Vyhlídka na Kapelu, Hrube rocks, Bohemian Paradise, Czech republic Bohemian Paradise (=Český Ráj) is a nature reserve protected area established in 1955 and it is located in North Bohemia. It has a varied country side with plenty of first and beech surrounding wonderful sandstone rock formations. The water, wind and frost erosion has left many uniquely shaped rock towers having up to 60 meters of height and these are a popular place for Czech rock climbers for decades. In the picture is the main part of Hrube rocks in Bohemian Paradise. This panoramic viewpoint is called View of the Orchestra. The Orchestra is the group of the sandstone towers on the left, with one needle standing before them, which is called the Dirigent. On the right in the background is the Lighthouse area with Lighthouse and Gate rocks.
