Lava flow near Mezina

Lava flow near Mezina is a natural monument, which can be found near the village Mezina. The Natural monument consists of stone folding in the former quarry. This unusual stone structure was created in the stream of lava from the volcano Venus. The area of the old quarry is partly covered by overgrown trees. In exposed areas there is a clearly visible columnar cleat of mined olivine basalt.

Below the cliff we can find a number of fallen stones. In the structure of these stones yellow-green olivine grains are visible. Protected yellow stonecrop grows in the confines of the nature sanctuary. The lava flow near Mezina was declared a natural monument in 1997, it stretches over 2 ha and it is at an altitude of 523 meters.
