	Holidays in Czech Switzerland

Czech Switzerland is a spectacular mountainous area in the north-west corner of the Czech Republic. It extends eastward into the Lusatian Mountains and westward into the Ore Mountains. It is famous for its sandstone formations - the most popular being the Pravcicka Gate (photo left above). The area is particularly suited to walking and mountain-biking.
