Rožná Borovina


Small outcrop at the top of the Borovina hill near Rožná. The outcrop is not natural and was made during WW2 when quartz and feldspars were mined. Borovina is not so heavily visited as Hradisko hill and still could offer some surprising finds. It is quite difficult to find it in the bushy forest, especially when everything is green.
