The České středohoří Mts. represent the largest volcanic terrain in the Czech Republic. Volcanic evolution dates from 37 to 9 Ma ago, but the largest volumes of volcanic rocks were produced in the early phases of volcanic activity. Current geomorphological characteristics of the area are the result of long-lasting erosional history, being predominantly influenced by the Labe-Elbe River and its tributaries in the central part of the mountain range. The original surface has been locally eroded by hundreds of metres, preserving peculiar conic hills, domes and rock faces. The geomorphological diversity is also enhanced by effects of mass wasting processes from the youngest era of its geological history and by anthropogenic transformations that started in prehistoric times, together forming a landscape that is protected for its geodiversity and biological significance and that helped the world community to understand certain basic volcanic processes and phenomena.
