Elbe Sandstones

-

Muscovy rock formations "Mushroom" and "Tortoise" in Tiských stěnach Labské pískovce - a geographic region in the Czech Republic.

The land is situated in the northern Bohemia, on the Dieczyńska Upland. It stretches between Petrovice in the west and Chřibská in the east and Děčín in the south, where it borders with the Czech Highlands, to the border with Germany in the north, where it borders on Saxon Switzerland. It covers the Czech Switzerland National Park.

In the area there are numerous clusters of rock formations: vertical walls, bastions, spiers, gullies, crevices and narrow rock terraces, located on a large plate of medium height of 400 m above sea level, composed of sedimentary rocks, sandstones and marl. river valleys form a system of distinct massifs with a characteristic landscape for plate mountains. The area of ​​the Elbe Sandstones is geographically not a mountain range.

This region was created about 100 million years ago. In the sea whose water in the Mesozoic, in the period of chalk covered the area, settle sand deposits of a few hundred meters thick. After the sea collapsed, as a result of the metamorphic processes accumulated sediments turned into sedimentary rocks: sandstones and marlins (clay and lime rocks). Tens of millions of years later, due to volcanic activity in the neighboring Czech Highland, sandstone layers were disturbed by collapse and cracks. In many places, there has been a break in the original sandstone slab into a slab, followed by the strengthening of sandstones as a result of lava flow. Over the next millions of years the form of the landscape has been shaped by various erosion forces. In the sandstone plate, cracks were formed, which gradually increased as the result of erosion processes, widening into large cracks and holes, creating stand alone towers and rocks and various rock formations.

In the area of ​​the Labyrinth of Sandstones, a landscape park has been created, which is the area of ​​the Protected Landscape of the Łabskie Sandstone, in order to protect rock formations and extensive areas with distinctive edge relief and natural ecosystems.
