The highlands are dotted with numerous slag volcanoes of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene and associated lava flows. Cones and lava fields cover a wide area on both sides of the picturesque Tolmacheva Lake, which lies in great depression halfway between the Opala and Gorely volcano. The 1415-meter volcano Tolmacheva - Pleistocene stratovolcano , lies on the side southeast of the lake. The main explosive eruption occurred about 4600 years ago from the Chasha crater (the modern Chasha lake , sometimes called the Bear Chasha ) north-west of Tolmachev Lake ) in the north-western part of the plateau, during which about 1 cubic kilometer of tephra was thrown. The last eruption of Tolmachev Dol occurred about 1600-1700 years ago. Volcano Opala also belongs to Tolmachev Dol, while Gorely to Gorely Dol .
On the southern part of the plateau is part of the zoo reserve βDeer Dol . β
