Castle ruins near village Hlinná near Litoměřice.

Basaltic cone-shaped hill (455 m) is located about 5 km northwest of Litoměřice below the hill Hradiště. From the wooded base protrudes very interesting rocky peak with a typical columnar jointing, which we can see eg. at the Radobýl quarry. Low, pentagonal prisms create something like a pavement smoothed by the steps of numerous visitors. Middle part of the hill are gradually becoming overgrown with seeding woods. In rock crevices on the top and on steep, rugged slopes of the hill diverse plants thrive, it is particularly noticeable in the spring.
