Geosite Boží hora at Žulová - a classic mineral deposit

Original language description

The town of Žulová is a historic centre of stone quarrying and processing of granite, in particular. The town is located in the north-western part of Czech Silesia, Czech Republic. Still, this area is little known due to its location near the borders. The absence of infrastructure, insufficient funds of the local municipalities and high unemployment prevent the town and its surroundings from exploiting the tourist potential in a wider scale. However, this town and its neighbouring villages certainly have a tourist potential, especially thanks to their preserved and beautiful landscape, interesting history and remoteness from big cities. In addition, in Žulová and the surrounding villages there are several localities interesting from the geological point of view. For geoscience tourism the geosites are valuable as deposits of various minerals of contact metamorphism and as deposits of silica or pegmatite veins. Furthermore, there are sites of historic or existing quarries related to stone processing or sites with remarkable geomorphology. This article describes the geological position and genesis of Boží hora geosite, along with its mineralogical and geotourist attractiveness.
