Velká Amerika

Velká Amerika is a disused limestone quarry near Mořina, in the Bohemian Karst a few kilometres north of Karlštejn. Its sheer walls form a canyon about 750 m long and up to 80 m deep, partly filled by a lake; Czech films such as Lemonade Joe were shot here, and visitors look into it from paths along the rim.
