Granátová skála, Natural monument along Lužnice River in Tábor, Czech Republic
The rock formation rises above the left bank of the Lužnice River, featuring a cuboid shape with a cavity in its center.
In December 1940, the government designated Granátová skála as a protected natural monument to preserve its geological characteristics for future generations.
The rock formation contains almandine garnets embedded within migmatite stone, representing a significant part of local geological heritage in South Bohemia.
Visitors can access the site through marked hiking trails and cycling paths that connect to the nearby Kotnov Castle and Tábor city center.
The formation contains dark brown to red almandine garnets reaching hazelnut size, formed through recrystallization of deep igneous rocks.
