geologythis mountains by volcanic activity in the Tertiary period time, whereby enormous basal tables of lava stream and magma masses, volcanic ashes and Tuffe in the area settled. Form the underground of the mountains Orthogneise, Migmatite and migmatisierte Paragneise. As also in the neighbouring areas ( Elbsandsteingebirge, Lausitzer mountains, Daubaer Switzerland) settled in the chalk sea sandige, tonige and kalkige sediments. Thus sandstones and planner limes are under the volcanic deposits in many places. The loose volcanic masses were cleared away by erosion far away, so that the former volcanic chimneys todayanimate the landscape in the north Böhmens as cone mountains.
