The valley is located between the village of Zahrádky and the town of Česká Lípa. This unique location was declared a protected area in 1967. It is about 4 km long and the path runs along the Robečské stream. The road is lined with high sandstone rocks, which in places form vertical walls. The original plans for the construction of a railway line that was supposed to pass through this location were canceled thanks to the activities of patriotic, especially German associations, and the valley was saved for future generations.

Hiking

Peklo, or "Hell Valley" in English, is very impressive and can be explored at leisure, partly via wooden boardwalks. There are several rest areas. Don't forget mosquito repellent in the summer ;-). No tourists, no mainstream, just pure nature.
