Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
Some important karst localities in the Třesín Massif are protected. Of them, the Mladeč Caverns are most notable. The cave called Na Štole was discovered by a prospect entry and is recently used for a speleotherapeutic purposes. The karst pipes (also called the stone organ) are now best preserved in an abandoned quarry near the road. This locality is registered as Nature Monument.
