    A remarkable former limestone quarry in the Bohemian Karst. Two viewing points.
    Partially filled with water.
    Now two paid parking lots.

    Hiking

    Looks nice, but unfortunately there is no way to the lake. The only way is through a tunnel that is closed with a gate.

    This partly flooded, abandoned limestone quarry looks more like a canyon you'd find somewhere in the middle of Arizona. Hence the name Velká Amerika means Great America. The view from the road is amazing! Some people attempt to go inside but it is forbidden and very dangerous. Stay away and let the film crews use this as a backdrop (Apple shot here their latest Apple Watch commercial).
