The height of the peak on mapy.cz is most likely incorrect, as there is nothing in the area that significantly exceeds the surrounding contour lines. However, the situation around the summit is extremely complicated; it is difficult to move here (young spruces, stones, cliffs) and even harder to assess what constitutes the summit. There are two formations about 100m apart that could be considered:
- the southern one, which has a hint of a path leading from the south, but it does not seem to have prominence
- the northern one, which definitely has prominence, but it is a rock that can be climbed, albeit at a solid II degree of difficulty.
Both peaks offer limited views and are a nice wild spot. Here I include a photo and the prominence of the northern "summit," although probably no one will climb it. One can definitely be satisfied with the southern one.
