5 Abstrakt (EN) The research focuses on the application of geophysical methods and subsequent data processing for the prospecting of igneous rocks and the search for volcanic structures. The literature review summarizes the physical and petrological foundations of various physical methods that can be utilized in the search for volcanic rocks, and discusses their most appropriate uses. The greatest emphasis is placed on the method of magnetometry, which is significant in identifying volcanoes. The work also explores the use of geoelectrical and seismic methods, radiometry, and gravimetry. In the practical section, geophysical measurements were conducted in the field to map the extent of the Tertiary volcano and other geological structures in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The extent of the volcanic body was successfully mapped using magnetic measurements. The results of the measured Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) profile corresponded to the extent of the volcanite body and showed that the body was significantly fractured. Other findings include the mapping of a fault zone, to which the volcanic body ascend could be linked, and the mapping of another fault zone in a nearby valley, which is assumed to have a fault character. Key words: igneous rocks, volcanism, geophysics, magnetometry, VLF, ERT
