Stożek Perkuna, Volcanic cone in Lower Silesia, Poland.
Standing at 386 meters, Stożek Perkuna features hexagonal basalt columns formed through thermal fractures during the cooling of lava flows.
The geological formation dates back 26 million years to the Paleogene-Neogene period when tectonic movements created the Sudetes Mountains region.
The mountain's name references Perkun, a thunder deity in Baltic mythology, reflecting the historical connections between Slavic and Baltic cultures.
Visitors can reach the site by parking near Leśna-Miłoszowa and following a one-kilometer walking trail to the volcanic cone.
The formation contains two distinct systems of clinkers, with different column sizes indicating separate periods of lava solidification.
