Short characteristics of the site:
This locality displays a dyke of polzenite in the northenmost part of the "Velká Čertova zeď - the Great Devil´s Wall". The investigation of this locality has a long tradition and different views concerning the petrological problems were published together with variable names. Today the rock is considered standard type of polzenite-vesecite. K-Ar dating offered variable ages from the Upper Cretaceous up to Pliocene. Important archaeological sites occur in surrounding localities.
