With an elevation of 619 metres (2,031 ft), Růžovský vrch is a dominant feature of the landscape. Its almost circular cone shape makes it one of the most typical representatives of the mountains of the region. The upper part of the mountain is made of basalt, whilst at its foot sandstone is also found. The flanks of the mountain are covered by an almost virgin deciduous forest, in which mighty beech and sycamore are especially impressive.
Protection of nature
The mountain is located within the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. Since 1973, the mountain has been protected as the Růžák National Nature Reserve due to the "protection of natural mixed vegetation and typical megatherm flora on a basalt substrate". The national nature reserve has an area of 97.7 ha (241 acres) [1]
