Flat hill 2 km west of Nové Huti. A broad summit with several subsidiary peaks and resting spots, with numerous bogs on the western slopes. Predominantly forested with spruce, the lower part of the eastern slope features meadows and pastures with ski lifts and slopes. The geodetic point is along the path, 150 m southeast of the highest point. An interesting feature is a 5 km long clearing with a path running over the summit from north to south. (tisicovky.cz)
