The sandstone rock town on the slopes of Ralsko offers numerous interesting landforms, including several mushroom rocks.
What will you see? A sandstone rock town, rock windows, overhangs, mushroom rocks ... The small rock town that lies on the slopes of the dominant mountain – Ralsko – hides may interesting sandstone landforms. In addition to the many rock towers, you can find rock windows, overhangs, as well as mushroom rocks. They were modelled as a result of differing resistance of individual layers of sandstone. The harder part of sandstone forms the imaginary “caps” of the mushrooms, while softer sandstone constitutes their “stems”. Such well-developed mushroom rocks are relatively rare in the Czech Republic.
