★ ★ ★ ★ ★ great please, we took a hive around the canyon, like many other people, no one bothered us for trespassing. We have seen some mine workers dumping stones close to us and they had also no problem with us looking at beautiful views.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is beautiful, the nature, the landscape... everything was wonderful, it is too bad that we couldn't go down but it was a good experience, it was worth to discover it!
We went there by bus and it was a bit difficult to find this place, there is a bus every 30 minutes/1 hour if I remember well, and we walked about 30 minutes to get to this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Velká Amerika (Big America, Czech Grand Canyon) is a partly flooded, abandoned limestone quarry near Mořina village, in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic (in Beroun District). It is 800 metres long, 200 metres wide and 80 to 100 metres deep with an 18-metre deep lake on the bottom.
Mining of the limestone was conducted in the first half of the 20th century. There are other quarries nearby, one of those is Malá Amerika (Small America) about 1.3 km to the west. The quarries are connected with each other by long tunnels.
The place has several times been used by Czech filmmakers. The place is sought after by professional divers and also popular stop for tourists visiting Karlštejn Castle.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is an intresting place to see. The downside is we couldn’t find the route to go down. And there are limited viewing spot. You can walk around the place without actually seeing the view

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful blue water. From the parking lot, there is a well defined route. A few photo spots - can be a bit risky getting towards the edge!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As I heard about this place many times my expectation of it was probably much bigger than this place could offer. If you want to really see something you have to break several rules (such as going over the metal ropes through the scrubs to get close to the edge of the quarry. To get to the bottom is the same. Needs to have permission from the prived owner or again break a rule.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I think it's a bit overhyped. The canyon is quite small and some of the trails are really raising your adrenaline level.
It's a nice stop on the way to Karlstein or Prague, otherwise there is not much to do there. I would not recommend planning a trip only to this place.
