Ejpovické útesy

This site is a former quarry that has filled with water to create a lake. It is characterized by reddish rock cliffs that contrast with the water. Visitors go here to walk along the shoreline or swim during the warmer months.

Getting There

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to explore the perimeter of the lake and walk along the cliffs. If you plan to swim, you may wish to stay longer.
