Bořeň, Extinct volcano near Bílina, Czech Republic
The phonolite mountain rises 539 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock walls that form a shape resembling a resting lion from the northwest perspective.
The geological formation dates back to volcanic activity in the North Bohemian Basin, establishing itself as a defining element of the Czech Central Mountains landscape.
The mountain has influenced regional art and documentation, with notable figures such as Goethe creating sketches of its distinctive profile against the Bohemian horizon.
Visitors can access the mountain through marked hiking trails from Bílina, with parking facilities available for twenty vehicles at the base of the formation.
