The Betlémské Skály Rocks are situated at the edge of the platform between the Jizera River and the Klokočský Potok. The best-known places in the Betlémské Skály are the formations of the Trojnožka and the Děravec - a mushroom-like rock with two rock gates. A spectacular view in the surroundings is offered by a 10 - metre - high rock named Zdenčina Skála, situated at the northeastern side of the rocks. Above the valley of the Klokočský Potok, you can identify round rock outcrops, called elephant's backs.

Betlémské rocks, Zdenčina skála (Zdenčina rock)

Betlémské rocks were affected by tectonic events during their formation. The full klokočská cuesta is limited with fractures, and the vicinity of Lužický fracture with nearby Suché rocks participated in the creation of deformation strips. We can also find many round cavities, rock gates or windows.
