Nestled in the northwestern corner of the Czech Republic, Bohemian Switzerland National Park is a haven of lush green landscapes and steep river gorges. Dominating this natural wonderland is the Pravcice Gate (Pravcická Brána), a towering 52-foot (16-meter) high rock arch that stands as the park’s iconic symbol and Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch. Visitors can explore the park’s scenic trails, leading to the base of the arch, where they can marvel at its impressive span and the surrounding panoramic views.
