the purple lake owes its color to iron compounds dissolved in the water, as the walls and bottom of the pit in which it is located are rich in copper and iron compounds

The lake is not really purple or violet, but rather orange-brown, but still worth seeing.

The entrance fee to the rock city is 230 CZK per person, which is definitely okay, but it's best to book tickets online in advance as they only allow a limited number of people in.
