Abstract
Žďarske vrchy Highland is built by metamorphic rocks and is situated in the upper part of Bohemian-Moravian Highland. A typical feature of Žďarske vrchy is the occurrence of isolated groups of rocks or rock formations (walls, towers, small rock cities ), which dominate on flat upland ridges. These ridges are separated by open valleys with flat headwaters. Rock formations are limited by vertical walls and often significantly protrude above the surrounding landscape, occasionally reaching heights well above 30 m, although 15 m is the typical height value. The Žďarske vrchy Highland is a part of the Žďarske vrchy Protected Landscape Area and many rock formations were declared as natural monuments. Landforms of the Žďarske vrchy Highland have originated through polygenetic development since the Cretaceous and are in many ways unique within the highlands in the Variscan Europe.
