Podhorní vrch – a unique relic from the Tertiary – a basaltic volcano, a rich deposit of a number of minerals

SOOS Reserve – one of the most unique natural units of the Czech Republic located near Františkovy Lázně. About 30 mineral springs surface in the area, with some 200 mofettas, so called mud volcanoes.

Komorní hůrka Hill – the remains of one of the youngest Quaternary volcanoes in Central Europe, 1.7 km from Františkovy Lázně. An adit was dug into the hillside in 1834 which lead to the discovery of a natural volcano crater filled with basalt.
