During Quaternary, Hornád River in its section between Markušovce and Olcnava transformed itself into a rather sharply edged and entrenched channel with almost vertical riversides. Current floodplain is exclusively built by intermittent layers of Galmus limestones and Palaeogene flysch layers of the Hornádska kotlina Basin featuring locally exposed strata unconformities. Geological phenomenon “Markušovská transgresia Nature Monument” represents a good example of the formation of transgressive layers of the aforementioned rock complexes. Remarkable topographic features include numerous rock faces and balconies separated by a network of streams with canyon-like channels, cascades and waterfalls, rock shelters, caves and other similar phenomena, all of which are dominated by famous mushroom-shaped rock called “Markušovský skalný hríb”. This rock was formed by gradual uneven weathering of Palaeogene layers and represents the highest rocky formation of its kind in Slovakia. Diverse geological and topographic conditions provide for the exceptional richness and diversity of living organisms, including species penetrating the site long the ecological corridor of the Hornád River valley.

The site features valuable fragments of forest as well as non-forest communities associated with limestone and conglomerate-sandstone rocks and crags of the Hornád River valley. Well-preserved rocky habitats provide home to a number of endangered species of thermophilous and dealpine flora and feature, among others, species Pulsatilla slavica and Iris aphylla ssp. hungarica (rich local population on the northern limit of its world range). Habitats of the site are of regionally importance and serve as important migration corridors for the Pannonian elements of flora penetrating the site from the south.

The key threat factors include isolation of particular fragments within the site, immediate vicinity of intensively managed land and socio-economic interests in the narrow Hornád River floodplain (traffic corridors, attempts to harness potential of Hornád River for energy generation, etc.).
