Vesecký kopec, Natural monument in Veská, Czech Republic
The sand dune reaches 20 meters in height and covers an area of 0.69 hectares within the East Elbe range near Pardubice.
The formation originated during the Quaternary period when strong winds transported sand particles from the Elbe River terraces in desert conditions.
Scientists have documented 108 species of carabid beetles within this protected area, making it a critical site for biodiversity research.
Visitors can access the monument via cycling route 4193, located 600 meters past Veská on the road connecting to Sezemice.
The site contains the endangered beetle Anthicus bimaculatus, which exists only here and in the nearby Písečný přesyp u Píst.
