Kodešova Skála: an impressive wall of basalt columns arranged in a fan shape. Also in front of it we find smaller and larger basalt formations, also at an old quarry.

The Kodešova skála rock was declared a natural monument on February 1, 1997. The layers of basalt rock are clearly visible on the rock walls of the formation. The structure was named after Otakar Kodeš (also Kodesch), a teacher at the Czech school in Friedland, who was shot by a Sudeten German in September 1938 near the basalt quarry in the lower part of the village. The area of the natural monument covers 0.11 ha.
