Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
This hill is one of the highest summits of the Vimperk upland. It consists of gneisses cut by a dyke of porphyry. This dyke is mechanically desintegrated, possibly also by frost activity and forms a felsenmeer (blocky scree). Geomorphologically very interesting.
