Písečný vrch, Nature reserve and cultural monument in Bečov, Czech Republic.
The elevated terrain at 318 meters features geological formations with volcanic breccia, sedimentary fills, and distinctive natural elements within the České středohoří region.
From 1960 to 1993, the site underwent industrial mining operations for sluňáků materials, which were essential components in semiconductor and laboratory glass production.
Archaeological findings at Písečný vrch reveal that prehistoric inhabitants used quartz stones from this location to create tools, establishing its importance in European prehistory.
Visitors can access the site through a blue-marked hiking trail that connects the volcanic formations of Milá and Raná, offering recreational opportunities.
The nature reserve contains two types of volcanic breccia: non-layered formations in the conduit and layered structures within the crater area.
