Geology

Short characteristics of the site: Rocky hill consisting of a coase-grained porphyritic muscovite-biotite metagranite. Schistose layers correspond to augengneiss in zones of tectonic reworking. Frost activity caused intensive mechanical blocky weathering. Petrologically and geomorphologically important locality.
