Geology
Short characteristics of the site: Isolated rocky elevation which can be called "tor". The tor summit offers magnificent view. Its rock consists of so called stromatitic migmatite. This means that it is clearly banded. First bands are of quartz-feldspar composition, second ones of biotite and sillimanite. The rocks is intensively folded. This locality belongs to the National Park Šumava.
