Nachazi se pouhe 3 km jihozapadne od Bruntalu. Diky zdaleka viditelnemu baroknimu kosteliku vytvari dominantu v okolni krajine.

Uhlirsky vrch - vznikl stratovulkanickym prorazenim spodnokarbonskych vrstev v obdobi Pleistocenu navrsenim lavovych proudu cedice a usazovanim nesoudrznych sopecnych vyvrzenin (pyroklastik).

Za odhalenim sopecne minulosti Uhlirskeho vrchu je vsak treba sejit do opusteneho lomu, ktery je chranen jako prirodni pamatka.
V lomu se odkryva asi 40 m vysoky prurez cervenym sopecnym tufem. Jsou to drobne utrzky lavy, ktere sopka vyvrhovala jeste ve zhavotekutem nebo plastickem stavu. Svedci o tom napriklad kapkovity tvar nekterych vetsich kamenu nebo zatocena vnitrni struktura, vytvorena rotaci pri pruletu atmosferou.

ENGLISH:
Charcoal-burner's hill locates only 3km southwesterly from Bruntal. Due to from fare visible baroque church creates dominating factor at neighbouring landscapes.

Charcoal-burner's hill - originate from stratovolcanical perforation Carboniferous-mississipian bed in phase Pleistocene superimposition lava's flow of Basalt and sedimentation of consolidated volcanic ash and dust ejected during volcanic eruption (pyroclastic).

If you want disclose volcanical history of Charcoal-burner's hill, you must go to down to abandoned quarry, which is protected as natural monument. In this quarry you can see 40m high cross-section wall of red volcanical Tuff. Tuff is a type of rock consisting of consolidated volcanic ash ejected from vents during a volcanic eruption. Some volcanical stones which ejected from vents during eruption have drop shape or spiral internal structure, established of rotation at atmosphere transit.
