Wdżar is particularly interesting from a geological point of view. It is one of the few places in the area (apart from e.g. the Jarmuta and Bryjarki mountains) where you can find magma volcanic rock - andesite. Due to the unique geological structure, Wdżar has been the subject of detailed scientific research for over 100 years. Originally, this area was built of flysch sediments (sandstones and shales of the so-called Szczawnica Formation, belonging to the Magura mantle formations). Magma broke into these settlements twice - over 100 minor intrusions of older andesites and three junior andesites. Unusual for neither the Pieniny nor the Gorce andesite here in the mid-nineteenth century, while in 1921 Stanisław Małkowski wrote about it in this way: "... with the naked eye you can see well preserved feldspar crystals and elongated, shimmering black amphibols and augites , immersed in gray, fine-grained rock dough ". Quite a common marketing trick is calling Wdżar an extinct volcano. The mountain may be a bit like a volcanic cone, but there is no scientific evidence that there was a volcano in this place.
