U Branického pivovaru, Natural monument in Braník, Czech Republic
The protected area extends across 1.66 hectares on the right bank of Vltava River, featuring two separate sections with elevations between 198 and 230 meters.
The site originated as an essexite basalt quarry in 1870, operating until 1922, when its abandonment led to the natural development of steppe vegetation.
The name of this natural monument derives from its location near the former Braník Brewery, reflecting the industrial heritage of the neighborhood.
Visitors can access the fenced area through forest paths or along the railway line, with the nearest access point at Braník Railway Station.
The geological formation contains rare graptolite fossils from the Octavites spiralis zone, making it a significant paleontological site in the Prague Basin.
