Composed predominantly of limestone and flysch, the mountain has an asymmetrical cone shape with a steeper eastern slope and a relatively gentler western slope, with numerous cracks and karst pits on its ridge.[2]
Vegetation is sparse, although in the southern and southwestern slopes, oak and hazel are grown in abundance. Other parts of the mountain have limited vegetation, including elk, gorse, ash, and sedge. The area provides lush summer pastures where mountain tea and other medicinal plants are cultivated.[3]
