Butter Berg / Niedźwiadki - 604m, 623m i 629m n.p.m.,
Within the Niedzwiadki Hills lying E of Walbrzych porphyries and their tuffs merge with the silI introduced between variously resistant layers in the Walbrzych beds. Effusive rocks (lapilla, tuffs, volcanic breccias, tuff agglomerates and tuffites) are grouped around the volcanic necks. Porphyries and their effusives are dissected. by a melaphyre dyke with a narrow belt of basic tuffs suggesting for the basic eruptive rocks a younger age than that of the more acid effusive constituents.
Some subvolcanic breccias contain porphyry material, others lack it. The breccias primarily consist of sandstones, shales and conglomerates from the Bialy Kamien series. These breccias display similarities with mud volcano breccias. Steam and gases owed their origin to the cooling porphyry sill. During expansion they crumbled up the adjacent rocks so, that mud and the ascending rock fragments filled the free spaces there.
