Lisovská skála

Lisovská skála is a natural monument near Samotín consisting of two connected rock ridges with distinct layered formations visible in their structure. The ridges form a compact geological feature shaped by ancient frost and weathering processes.

This site originated during the early Quaternary period when repeated freezing cycles separated the rock ridges from surrounding materials. The resulting formation was officially protected as a natural monument in 1987.

The designation as a protected natural monument in 1987 reflects Czech Republic's commitment to preserving geological formations for scientific research and education.

The village of Herálec serves as the best starting point for reaching this site, since public transportation does not directly serve the area. Private transportation is recommended for a convenient visit.

At the base of the site stands a cryoplanation terrace, a rare feature created by ancient cycles of freezing and thawing. Connected to this terrace lies an expansive field of scattered boulders that extends across the lower ground.
