    My expectations for this Sunday in Warsaw were:
    1. In the morning, a Zoom meeting with my family in Sydney . Check.
    2. In the afternoon, lunch with friends. Unfortunately, family/work/business made that impossible.
    3. In the evening, a new Honest Guide video. Czech.

    Thank you for virtually taking me “home”. I lived and taught in that area for just over two years. At my first school in Prachen we walked to Panská Skála for PE one day. Panská Skála became one of my favorite places to go just to sit. There are so many beautiful and unique places to discover in the Crystal Valley. The best thing to discover is the people!

    Kamenický Šenov (Steinschönau in German) is actually the Chech partner town of the town I live in, Rheinbach in Germany!
    After WW II, a lot of glass blowers from Bohemia emigrated to Rheinbach, so this became a town for glass manufacturers as well. There is even a glass making trade school here and a glass museum.
    Now I am even more motivated to learn some Czech, get in touch with the Kamenický Šenov friendship club here in Rheinbach, and after revisiting Prague coming September, I will make sure to go and visit Rheinbach's partner town and the surrounding area in the North of the Czech Republic! :)

You let us know what is cool, what is not and how to deal with it. You also keep a strong level of integrity and never sell out. This is a rare and I'll say, beautiful thing and the good vibe ripples go far and wide. You are our heroes. Thanks Janek and Honza.

    Panská skála is a very good example of columnar Basalt. Basalt is an extrusive rock which is created by a volcanic eruption (can be a gentle eruption). When the lava cools, the joints are formed in a hexagonal form which is a common form and not very rare. Thanks for showing this. I will love to visit this place... Greetings...

  • @timbyrne914
    @timbyrne914 2 года назад

    A bit of casual research shows that basalt columns are probably date to volcanic fissure activity 30m years ago. The fissures were part of the European Cenozoic Rift System - a system of faults that developed as a result of the development of the alps. Basalts are most commonly the results of ocean volcanic activity, but they are also common in rift systems where deep mantle magmas make their way to the surface without too much mixing with continental crust. Basalt fractures like this when thick basalt flows solidify at the surface allowing the interior to cool slowly and fracture in an organized way. The surface layer above them is tyipcally blockier and randomly fractured like the upper layer you can see at Zaltý vrch.

    Finally a very scenic look araoud from the top of the hill with this (I call it Sputnik) Restaurant, the Ještěd.
