It consists of sandstone and phonolite. The phonolite comes from tertiary volcanism[1] while the sandstones are older. Rock terraces are visible. A nature preserve, covering 81,99 ha[2] of its summit and south-western rock cliff, was established in 1998.

Etymology

The name Vlhošť is probably related to the Czech word vlhký meaning wet.
