Eisenbühl
One of the youngest volcanoes in the Czech Republic.
Železná hůrka (German: Eisenbühl) is an extinct Quaternary volcano in the Cheb Basin in the Czech Republic.
Železná hůrka is located about 1 km from Mýtina (Lipová municipality, Cheb District). The surrounding area, known as Chebsko in Czech and as Egerland in German, was part of Nazi Germany in 1938-1945 and even before that it had a majority German-speaking population.
The area, known as the Cheb Basin, also has other manifestations of volcanic activity. Another Quaternary volcano, Komorní hůrka (Kammerbühl) is located nearby. CO2 outgassing occurs in the area. At least one volcanic maar is located there.
Sodalite olivine melilitite lava with abundant xenoliths in a simple cone (0.43 Ma), while older explosive volcanism (1.0 Ma) is ascribed to the Strombolian type.
