A vast hill 2.5 km north of the village of Stožec. The summit has a conical shape and is composed of gneisses and granites. Numerous boulders and rocks, features of frost weathering. There is a geodetic point at the top. /tisicovky.cz/

The peak lies on the edge of the quiet zone of the national park, and it can be climbed from the west and north sides without disturbing the quiet zone. According to a proposal from November 1, 2023, the quiet zone is to be expanded, but this has not yet happened. Nevertheless, it should still be possible to climb almost to the summit - the highest accessible point would be just 100 m to the west (30 m lower).
