Pravčická Brána, Czech Republic

The Pravčická Brána is perhaps nature’s greatest and largest natural sandstone arch in the whole of Europe. Because of its natural beauty, a lot of people who have witnessed this majestic scene were blown away by the fact that it looks like something made out of a movie set of some famous studio. The arch reaches a height of around 16 meters and spans nearly 26.5 meters.

We have to give nature a huge credit for sculpting this piece of art in the heart of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Pravčická Brána is one of the largest natural rock gates on the mainland and is a natural monument of Switzerland. It is considered the most beautiful natural structure in Bohemian Switzerland and a symbol of the entire region. Because of the earth’s composition beneath the arch, it is prone to erosion and deformation. This is why people are restricted from visiting the arch.
