In 2004, UNESCO took on another project dedicated to protecting world heritage. After architectural and cultural legacies, it turned its attention to geological heritage and the Global Geoparks Network was formed. The Czech Republic can be proud that it holds the first place in terms of European geoparks. It was Bohemian Paradise which was entered in the list first.
Bohemian Paradise has been a tourist destination for almost two centuries. It has always attracted attention because of its dramatic appearance, provided particularly by its sandstone rock formations jutting out of its forests. Only about half of Bohemian Paradise has Geopark status, but there are also other attractions available for visitors. It is not for nothing that this is one of the most visited regions in the Czech Republic. Its wonderful scenery is made up of old castles proudly looking out over the land, and the local valleys and rivers are unforgettable. It would be difficult to find more romantic little towns. Bohemian Paradise offers all this and it is also very easily accessible from Prague.
Note
UNESCO Geopark classification is not permanent. Bohemian Paradise must justify its membership every three years.
