Damil, Summit in Central Bohemia, Czechia.
Damil is a summit reaching 386 meters in the Beroun district of Central Bohemia, featuring exposed limestone formations and abandoned quarries visible on its slopes. The hill sits near the village of Tetín and displays rock layers from different periods of Earth's history.
The hill preserves important rock layers from the lower Devonian period, found in the Lochkov and Prague limestone formations. These geological strata tell the story of how the Bohemian region developed millions of years ago.
The Blue Quarry on the southeastern slope holds scientific importance for geologists and paleontologists studying Czech Massif formations.
The summit lies over 250 meters away from the nearest road and requires hiking through unmarked terrain to reach it. Sturdy footwear and adequate time are necessary for a safe and comfortable visit.
The northern slopes contain deposits rich in ancient fossils, especially trilobites preserved in the Kotýz limestone layers. These remains reveal what marine life looked like hundreds of millions of years ago in this area.
