The Borný Peak

A neovolcanic peak, proudly towering over the shore of Lake Macha, to which it inherently belongs – as if it were its guardian. It exceeds the lake’s level by 185 m. On the top, we can see a vein of alkaline basalt with irregular columnar separation. Below the peak, you will find small debris fields of this rock.  Although it is one of the dominant features of the Doksy area, the view from the highest point is obscured by vegetation, so you have to descend to the western slope from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of Lake Macha, Šroubený and Polomené Mountains. In the surrounding area, especially on the northeastern slope, there are several shallow mining sites where iron ore was mined.
