Prackovský vulkán, Extinct volcano in Mírová pod Kozákovem, Czech Republic.
Prackovský vulkán is an extinct volcano in Mírová pod Kozákovem that rises to 471 meters above sea level within the protected Český ráj landscape in the Kozákovský hřbet ridge area. The surrounding terrain features grassland and scattered trees covering the slopes where geological layers are visible.
This geological formation originated during a period of volcanic activity millions of years ago that shaped the Central European landscape. The volcano became dormant through natural processes and now stands as a record of that distant geological period.
The volcano serves as an educational site where visitors learn about the geological processes that formed the Czech landscape over time.
Reaching the volcano requires a moderate walk through grassland and scattered trees, with access paths beginning from the village of Prackov. Visitors should come prepared for changing terrain and wear proper hiking shoes, as ground conditions vary depending on weather.
The crater of this volcano remains in exceptionally well-preserved condition and is often noted as the most complete crater formation found in the Czech Republic. This geological feature makes the site particularly valuable for anyone wanting to observe the interior of a volcanic structure firsthand.
