Suché skály

Malá Skála

Suché skály, once also known as Kantor's Organ, is a national natural monument and a striking landmark of the Maloskalsko region. It's a rock wall that ranks among the landscape's most attractive and, in Bohemia, relatively rare geomorphological formations. This very rarity makes it one of the most impressive natural sights in the area.

Geomorphologically, Suché skály, together with the nearby Panteon, forms part of the Ještěd–Kozákov ridge. Its value was recognised long ago: protected since 1956, it has held national natural monument status since 2000. This recognition rests on the wall's unusual shape, seldom seen in the Bohemian landscape, which makes the site a favourite among nature lovers and photographers alike.

The main draw is the view of this rock landmark itself and a walk through Maloskalsko, of which it is an integral part. Suché skály forms a striking backdrop for the whole area and, together with the surrounding rock formations, ranks among the region's finest sights. Its silhouette is so characteristic of Maloskalsko that it has become one of its symbols.

Suché skály lies in the northernmost tip of the Besedice cadastral area, part of the village of Koberovy in the Jablonec nad Nisou district of the Liberec Region. Its location at the heart of Maloskalsko makes it an ideal destination for a trip combined with hiking along the surrounding trails and rock formations. If you want to fully explore this corner of Bohemian Paradise and its surroundings, it's worth planning a stay nearby and setting aside unhurried time for Suché skály and the neighbouring scenery – the Maloskalsko landscape deserves more than just a brief stop.
