The World’s Most Forbidden Places

Pravcicka Brana, Czech Republic

In the picturesque region of Bohemia in the Czech Republic, a natural wonder stands tall – the Pravcicka Brana. This sandstone arch is the largest natural arch in Europe, and has been a source of inspiration and fascination for centuries.

The arch, which is located in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, can only be accessed via a hiking trail, and visitors are prohibited from climbing on or touching the rock formation to preserve its delicate structure. Despite its popularity, the area around the arch is strictly protected, with high fines and penalties for violators. The Pravcicka Brana and the surrounding national park are a testament to the beauty and diversity of nature, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our shared natural heritage for future generations.
