Old granite quarry. The local Karkonosze pluton granite is poor in pegmatites.
Place of former periodic exploitation of equigranular and porphyritic granite, c. 0.25 km east of a streamlet now usually unnamed, rarely informally called Strużka i.e. Trickle, its old name was Dreßlerfluß* ; small irregular nest of whitish quartz 12 cm long with three 0.6–1 cm spots of ore minerals.
