Abstract

The study presents a part of the results from the field work, which was part of the Bachelor Thesis on the theme – Weathering pits of Votická vrchovina Highlands. It presents a general characteristic of weathering pits in selected localities – Kněz u Hrazan, Husova kazatelna and Čertovo břemeno and the results of the measurements of the fissure system and the direction and slope of the bottoms of weathering pits. By comparing them, the question was answered: whether the orientation of the bottoms of weathering pits matches the orientation of the fissure system in the given locality. Fissure diagrams and stereograms show the results of the measurements.
