• Lookout by the parking lot gives the classic view right away, before any walking
• No swimming or climbing down, since entry to the quarry is forbidden and the cliffs are vertical
• Rim nature trail of about 3 km with 11 info panels, including the old tunnels where rare bats spend the winter

Velká Amerika is a flooded former limestone quarry in the Český kras protected area, about 800 meters long and up to 100 meters deep, with two connected clear lakes at the bottom. Kids look down from a lookout next to the parking lot or walk the wooded paths around the rim. Entering the quarry and swimming are forbidden, and the walls drop straight down, so keep small kids close at the edge.
