Old and closed quarry on the N-W slope of the unnamed hill 564m, north from the Mt.Bukowina 554m. German name - Mummelberg 564m according to the Messtischblatt No 5262 Landeshut in Schlesien.
Note: the name Mummelberg occur in old German scientific works. Some Polish tourist maps show Mummelberg as Mt.Bukowina (564 m), what is not true.
Awdankiewicz 2006:
The section at Czadrówek, ca. 1-2 km west/north-west of the inferred vent of the volcano, is 30-40 m thick and dips gently to the SE. The section consists of three successive lava horizons with sandstones and tuffs interbedded between the two lower ones. This sequence formed due to two
eruptions separated by relatively long repose period. The first effusive eruption produced ca. 10 m thick aa lava flow. This flow was subjected to a prolonged weathering and it is covered by red volcanogenic sandstones composed of local lava fragments, locally overlain by green sandstones of
non-volcanic provenance (sublithic arenites). The second eruption started with an explosive (phreatomagmatic ?) phase and the deposition of ca. 1 m of laminated tuffs, followed by an effusive phase and the emplacement of ca. 25 m thick aa-type lava flow. Abundant sedimentary xenoliths in the latter flow possibly reflect incorporation of poorly consolidated sediments in the vent area. The final phases of this eruption resulted in the accumulation of thin, discontinuous pahoe-hoe lava flows.
