The word can refer to a large, solid mass of stone that is exposed above the ground, such as a mountain peak or a prominent outcrop. It can also denote a steep, rocky incline or a precipice.

In Hungary, specific geographic locations are often named using the term "szikla" to highlight their rocky nature. These can range from small, isolated rock formations to extensive cliff faces found in mountainous or hilly regions. The geological composition of these "sziklát" can vary, encompassing different types of rock such as limestone, granite, or basalt, depending on the region's geological history.
