Review:
Created by the limestone mining industry in the early 19th century, Velka Amerika can be thought of as the Czech Republic's version of the Grand Canyon. The quarry is approximately 60 feet deep and more than 2,600 feet long, and a gorgeous blue lake sits in the bottom, providing some truly wonderful photo opportunities. You can get a good view of the lake from almost every angle, but if you want to explore the area properly, there is a hiking trail that runs along the rim of the canyon. It takes approximately one hour to circle the gorge entirely.
