This Masetr thesis looks into weathering pits of nature park Česká Kanada. The theoretical part of the thesis investigates research of weathering pits done in the Czech Republic as well as abroad. The practical part deals with weathering pit-bearing as well as weathering pitabsent blocks of rock within the study area. It describes their geological-geomorphological environment and attempts to find differences between the weathering pit-bearing and absent blocks (the presence of cracks, altitude, landforms, shape of the rock block and more). Furthermore it was established that a suitable rock block morphology (respectively the existence of horizontal plane) is important for formation of weathering pits. It also studies water properties in selected weathering pits, relationship of overhangs to prevailing wind directions. A correlation between overhang and wind direction was found in sense that NW to W winds correspond with overhang formation on eastern sides of weathering pits. Water in weathering pit of Čertův kámen located in sunny bare landscape shows significantly different properties in comparison with water properties of remaining weathering pits located in forrested areas.
