Already in the 18th century, a quarry was operated here, in which one of the most beautiful columnar Basaltabsonderungen was discovered in the Czech Republic. The five- to six-cornered regular basalt columns are almost vertical. They are up to 12 m long and have a diameter of 20 - 40 cm. The entire formation is reminiscent of organ pipes and therefore it is often called stone organ - Kamenné varhany.

Imposing sight, the climb to the summit is worth, but steep.
