Der Bohlen ist eine etwa 800 Meter lange und bis 100 Meter hohe Felswand am rechten Ufer der Saale zwischen Saalfeld und Obernitz. Die vorwiegend natürlich entstandene Steilwand wird aus variszisch gefalteten und geschieferten marinen oberdevonischen und unterkarbonischen pelagischen Sedimenten aufgebaut, die diskordant von horizontal gelagerten Zechsteinkalken des Tafelstockwerkes überdeckt werden. Der Aufschluss ist wissenschaftsgeschichtlich eine klassische Lokalität und ein einzigartiges Lehrbeispiel für die variszische Diskordanz in Mitteleuropa. Die stark gefaltete und tektonisch mehrfach gestörte ca. 150 Meter mächtige Schichtenfolge des Grundgebirges repräsentiert typische Beckensedimente des Devons und Karbons im Saxothuringikum und kann als Richtprofil angesehen werden. Ihr Fossilreichtum spiegelt wichtige Etappen der Entwicklung der Geobiosphäre und besonders der marinen Lebewelt wider. Das anzutreffende geologische Inventar belegt wichtige Ereignisse der Erdgeschichte aus einer Zeit von vor 256 bis 380 Millionen Jahren.
