Landscape and geology

Near Pačíska, there is a former quarry and natural outcrops of metamorphic rocks from the Paleozoic Sedlčany–Krásná Hora island region. The Pačíska geological site is considered worthy of protection because it is one of the few occurrences of the youngest strata of the Central Bohemian island zone. The geological sequence of Pačíska continues eastward in isolated elevations near Šiberný, south of Doubravice. Pačíska also shapes the gently sloping valley of the Sedlecký stream. The old quarry exposes crystalline limestones, possibly belonging to the Zbirov Formation, as well as metasiltstones, quartzites, metagreywackes, and conglomerates.

Orientation

Access to Pačíska is off-trail; the site is more than 250 m from the road. The Šiberný monument stands at the foot of the lookout hill on the side facing Pačíska.
