Skryje (Rakovník District)

Skryje is a municipality and village in Rakovník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

The entire municipality is located within the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area.

The village became famous when French geologist Joachim Barrande discovered rich fossil deposits of trilobites in the close surroundings of the village, when he was surveying the terrain for a horse-pulled railway.
