Adersbach Rocks

Adersbach Rocks, a remarkable labyrinthine group of sandstone rocks situated near the village of Adersbach, in the NE. of Bohemia. The aspect of some parts of the group has been compared to that of a city ruined by a conflagration. There are thousands of curious cones, peaks, and pinnacles (one over 200 feet high); many of which have names such as 'The Praying Monk,' and 'Sugarloaf.' The structure of the rocks has been produced, not by any commotion of the earth, but by the influences of rain, frost, and other atmospheric changes, wearing down the soft sandstone by very deep furrows into fantastic forms.
