Salesiova výšina, Natural monument in Osek, Czech Republic.
The rock formations at Salesiova výšina consist of large quartzite blocks intersected by a network of orthogonal fissures at 422 meters elevation.
In 1986, the Czech authorities designated Salesiova výšina as a protected natural monument, recognizing its geological value and prehistoric river deposits.
The site bears the name of Abbot Salesius Kruger from Osek monastery, who constructed a wooden gazebo on the summit during the 19th century.
Visitors can access the site via marked hiking routes from Osek město railway station or the local swimming facility, with parking available at both locations.
The rock surfaces display thousands of fossil imprints from freshwater mollusks of the Unio genus, preserving evidence of ancient river ecosystems.
