Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, geomorphological phenomenon. Rocky wall exhibiting quadersandstones of the Teplice Formation enabled formation of travertine cascade as much as 10 m high. This travertine is highly porous, greyish white and encloses tree leaves and plants. Surrounding sandstones exhibit numerous pseudokarst features and travertine incrustations. Calcareous cement of sandstones can be considered source of carbonate. Stratigraphic boundary between the Teplice and Březno formations can be found nearby.
