Železniční zářez, Natural monument in Hlubočepy, Czech Republic.
The 0.55-hectare protected area contains a rock profile with limestones from the Choteč formation and Silurian shales, revealing significant geological features.
The railway cut emerged during the construction of the Prague to Rudná u Berouna railway line in 1873, exposing the geological boundary between Serbian shales and Choteč limestones.
The wooden bridge at the site connects the Barrandov plateau with old Hlubočepy and Zlíchov areas, following an ancient path through the shale formations.
Visitors can reach the site via a green-marked tourist trail that begins at Řeporyjské náměstí bus stop and ends at the Hlubočepy tram station.
The Serbian shales within the protected area contain numerous fossils of rare terrestrial plants, including specimens of Protopreridium hostinense.
