It is a remnant of tertiary volcanoes and probably the oldest 'basalt' quarry in Lubań (Germ.Lauban). The medieval city walls, towers and other oldest buildings were probably built from the blocks excavated here.
On its top, among the quarries in the second half of the XIX century, a 14-hectare park was established. Interesting geological forms, such as volcanic bombs or basalt columns 10-15 meters high, can be found there. There are also numerous natural monuments in the park, incl. the "Herman" ash tree with a circumference of 298 cm and the sycamore maple "Franciszek" with a circumference of 281 cm, The park has an amphitheater and the so-called The Mountain House (currently the Castle, seat of the Music School) from 1824, rebuilt in 1909.
nephelinite from the Cenozoic Central European Volcanic Province.
