Geologically, the volcano formed by rocks, largely basalt covered by volcanic ejecta, character tuffs and tuffs with the occurrence of so-called ”volcanic bombs“. Venus Volcano is well known for its minerals, as the basalt contains abundant amounts of green mineral olivine. From the top of Venus' north opens a beautiful view to the ridge of Jeseníky, then southeast through pastures and forests views of Big Roudný.
