Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
Isolated prominent hill and its talus cone. Outcrops of an intrusion of the sodalite trachyte into silicified clayey limestones of the Rohatec Beds. Special microclimate in talus voids causes temperature inversion during winter season. Volcanologically, geomorphologically and climatologically remarkable site, also touristically attractive locality (in both summer and winter season).
