Zahrádky: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Peklo is a geologically valuable, gorge-like valley of the Robečský potok stream in sandstone. The complex of St. Barbara’s Church, including its walls, cemetery, bell tower, staircase, and statues, has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958.

Nature

Peklo provides a habitat for rare and endangered plant and animal species, including a large population of spring snowflakes. The Novozámecký rybník National Nature Reserve is associated with rare bird species and a unique drainage channel carved through the rocks. A birdwatching station and an observation footbridge were built at Novozámecký rybník in 2013. Novozámecký rybník was created during the time of Charles IV.
