Up here, there are peculiar rock formations waiting to be discovered. There was also once a Celtic settlement here, though I can no longer see any traces of it.

On Velký and Malý Chlum, there was a prehistoric hillfort with a settlement. Investigations suggest it was divided into two parts: Velký Chlum was home to an acropolis, whose fortifications in the northeast were even doubled in size and better preserved. On Malý Chlum and in the saddle between the two peaks, there was an outer fortification with less clearly discernible fortifications.

The fortifications cover a total of 10–12 hectares, making them the fourth largest in West Bohemia. Such an extensive hillfort is, however, completely unusual for the civilization of that time.

The Transylvanian Mountains are considered today to have the most developed granite weathering features in Bohemia. At the southern foot of the hill are the so-called frost hollows, and on the summit lies a small rock settlement. A granite labyrinth with diverse shapes and formations.
