Individual natural objects that are significant because of their uniqueness and rarity or their character which characterize the landscape are designated as natural monuments . The state administration distinguishes between three classes: geological natural monuments (such as gorges , earth pyramids , rock formations, boulders ), botanical natural monuments (such as individual trees or other plants, groups of trees) and hydrological natural monuments (such as waterfalls, lakes, glaciers ).
