What a good idea to have named this region! This name, approved in 1995 (but invented in 1870) when creating this protected area, is now very effective in attracting visitors. But that is justified!Located 80 km north-east of Prague, this region of 700 km 2 owes its name to its natural beauty and the quality of life it provides. In 2005, it became the 25 th European géoparc. In a very harmonious, wooded and hilly environment, you will be able to carry out many activities: hiking or cycling, climbing rock rock formations, swimming in the many small natural lakes, etc. These sandstone giants, characteristic of this region, became the symbol of the Český Ráj. They form rocky towns (skalní) grouped in three zones: the reservation of Český Ráj itself, that of Prachovské Skály, that around Malá Skála.For the cultural aspect, many castles, some historic cities and the vernacular architecture of some villages deserve a detour. The region covers two cities Turnov and Jičín, starting point for most activities. Jičín, the smallest of both, is also the nicest.Beware! The region called Český Ráj covers a large area around Jičín and Turnov. The whole area has beautiful rock formations, castles. Český Ráj's nature reserve only covers part of this area. This is the most popular area, but the rest of the region is not lacking in interest.
