Kokorínsko nature reserve is a cretaceous chalk plate area of Bohemia with unique geomorphological relief made of block sandstone.The formation called Poklicky i.e. pot lids, is connected with erosion and with the hardness of the materials affected: hence, the upper part of the "hoods" consists of sand-iron sediments while the bottom part is formed of sand-clay materials.
