Pravčická brána

In 1881, Prince Edmund of Clary-Aldringen had built the Hotel Sokolí hnízdo (that time called Falkennest, both meaning "falcon's nest") with 50 beds.

As a result of heavy erosion by visitors, the arch has been placed out of bounds since 1982.

The entire terrain has been in private ownership since the privatisation of the hotel and may be visited for an entry fee during opening times.

The Eisenach to Budapest mountain path runs by the Pravčická brána.

Because the rock formation may no longer be climbed on, the scenes in which the actors appear to run over the arch were taken in the studio and pasted in.
