The rocky cliffs with an observation point. It forms part of a rocky range called "Liščí skály - the Fox Rocks". They consist of the botite granite passing into granodiorite of so called "the Lubenec Type". This locality offers a pretty outlook on the Doupovské hory Mts. The educational trail makes possible to visit also outcrops of leucocratic granite with perthitic potassium feldspar and common granite rock mineral association. The whole area belongs to the Teplá Crystalline Complex.
