Jabloňka, Natural monument in Libeň, Czech Republic.

The Jabloňka protected area extends across 1.25 hectares of land, featuring steep rock faces known as Černé skály with elevations between 80 and 100 meters.

The site operated as a quarry until 1887, where workers extracted quartzite blocks for cobblestone production and construction materials throughout the nineteenth century.

The geological formations at Jabloňka display fossilized tracks from marine organisms, providing scientists with insights into the Ordovician period of the Paleozoic era.

Prague City Hall manages this conservation zone, which extends 50 meters around the protected area under regulation No. 5/1968 Sb. NVP.

The location hosts one of two known specimens of Quercus robur, an endemic tree species that evolved from Sorbus aucuparia and Sorbus torminalis crossbreeding.
