Bořeň (539 m) (also known as Biliner-stein, Borschen), is a phonolite hill two kilometres south of Bílina in NW Bohemia, Czech Republic. When seen from NW side, the hill has a shape of lying lion. It is a structure similar to Mountain Devils Tower in Wyoming. It is the largest phonolite structure of its kind in Europe. Dominates both the town Bílina and for the Czech Central Mountains, with its distinctive silhouette is visible from quite a number of remote locations.
There are also mineral water springs which are the source of the Bílinská Kyselka water.
