Fairy-Tale-Like Beach in the Middle of Europe
May 12, 2015
This landscape portraits what Central Europe looked like 15 million years ago (Miocene, Tertiary). Africa collided with the Eurasian tectonic plate, slowly creating the Alps and Carpathian Mountains. But before the mountain ranges grew so high, along them there was a sea called Paratethys.
Namely, this pictures South Moravia, which was at that time a coast of Paratethys. Local Devonian and Jurassic limestones were eroded into something you can see now in Thailand. What is left now are beach sediments with many shells and a karst with karstic valleys and caves.
I went there last weekend with my brother (to relax after state exams, which I passed but was really exhausted afterwards). The nowadays landscape is completely different but it was pretty impressive to relax on a prehistoric sandy beach, which is now a hill with vineyard in the middle of a continent, surrounded with cute shells :)
