Otická sopka, Natural monument near Otice, Czech Republic.
The natural monument contains exposed basalt rock formations within a former quarry, located at an elevation between 262 and 311 meters.
The quarry operations at Otická sopka began in 1890 and continued until 1949, creating the depression at the summit that resembles a volcanic crater.
Local inhabitants referred to the site as Peklo until the early 20th century, and legends tell of a devil leaving footprints on boulders at the summit.
Visitors can access the protected area through marked yellow hiking trails, with official opening hours from Monday to Friday during regular business hours.
The basalt rock at Otická sopka contains light yellow carbonate in its fractures and crystal formations of calcite and phillipsite in its cavities.
