Jarcovská kula, Natural monument in Jarcová, Czech Republic

The sandstone rock formation reaches a height of 8 meters and stands on the left bank of the Vsetínská Bečva River.

The geological formation dates back to the Paleocene period, with layers of conglomerate containing quartz pebbles and exotic stones up to 5 centimeters.

Local legends tell of a devil who dropped this boulder while attempting to win the heart of a girl named Rozina by damming a creek.

The protected area permits climbing activities from July through December, featuring seven established routes on the rock face.

The top section of the formation contains a natural rock basin and displays distinctive stone fringes in its fine-grained conglomerate layer.
