Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
This locality is called "Jeskyně u Tyrolského domku - The Hollow at the Tyrol Cottage". Geologically it belongs to the Chrudim Early Palaeozoic and its Vápenný Podol syncline. The base of its section is formed of the Skalka quartzose sandstone (quartzite) of a Middle Ordovician age. This member is overlain by the Cretaceous of the "breaking wave" facies. Several hollows occur in the quartzite, the largest one is as much as 4 metres long and 2 metres long. These hollows represent a product of frost weathering. The whole area is called "The Železné Hory National Geopark - the Iron Mountains of a network of UNESCO geoparks".
