Hřídelecká hůra, Natural monument near Lázně Bělohrad, Czech Republic
Hřídelecká hůra is a volcanic hill standing at about 398 meters on the eastern edge of Hřídelec village. It displays distinctive rock formations and geological features that make it stand out in the surrounding landscape.
A basalt quarry operated at this site until 1926, leaving behind numerous cavities and chambers throughout the rock formations. This extraction activity left a lasting mark on the hill's appearance.

Several hiking trails and a cycling route run through the village of Hřídelec at the base of the hill, linking Nová Paka with Lázně Bělohrad. Visitors should follow the established paths to safely explore the area.
The site contains rare minerals including amphibolite, dolomite, calcite, olivine, and aragonite that are preserved in Prague's mineralogical collections. These specimens rank among the country's finest geological examples.
