Comorni volcano

Comorni volcano is the smallest in Europe, it is located a few kilometers from the city of Frantishkova Lazne. The volcano was formed in the XVIII century by layering of geological rocks, which gives it the status of the youngest volcano of the Quaternary period in the Czech Republic. Until the beginning of the XIX century it was not fully clear if it is a volcano or a deposition.

The issue was resolved when, on the initiative of Count Kashpar, a horizontal mine was made in the depth of the hill in 1837, where evidence was found in the form of basalt vents of the volcano. The pit seen on Comorni Hill is not a crater, but the remains of a dug mine. Near the hill is a board with the image of I.V. Goethe, who loved to visit these places.
