Broumovsko has been a protected landscape area since 1991. It is well known for its aesthetically and ecologically valuable landscape: extensive complexes of sandstone rock formation as well as cultural heritage, which comprises especially religious and folk architecture.[1][2]

Geology and nature

The Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area is composed of two different geologic formations, the Police highlands and the Broumov basin, separated by the ridge of the Broumov Walls. One of the main phenomena of this area is the cretaceous sandstone relief with vast rock towns, table mountains and cuestas. The deep cold gorges of the rock towns support rare floral life, rich alpine vegetation is found here in inverse positions, while on the rock plateaus warm and dry pine woods can be found.[3]

Sights

For many centuries, the area was managed by Benedictine monks from Broumov Monastery; the cultural landscape of Broumovsko region was particularly influenced by the Baroque era. There is a unique set of ten Baroque churches built in the 18th century in villages around Broumov, on the territory of the Broumov monastic estate, by famous architects, father and son Christoph Dientzenhofer and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.[4] Walled manors and country estates of the Broumov type are also highly remarkable.[5]
