Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
Complex of rocky outcrops formed mainly of phyllites with sericite a chlorite. The are tectonically deformed because of affects of orogenic movements between the Devonian and Carboniferous. Rock folding is ubiquitous. Moreover, Quaternary frost weathering has been responsible for origin of rock window and chimney rock. The locality belongs to the Nature Park "Zlatý kopec - the Golden Hill".
