In German Zwercheck. Part of a prominent ridge 6.5 km northwest of Železná Ruda, on the border with Germany. Located on the western edge of the structural ridge of Jezerní hora. Composed of schists with quartzite inserts. Numerous rock formations and boulders. The vegetation consists of spruce forest, occasionally mixed with rowan. (tisicovky.cz)
The ČÚZK map and the digital model DMR 5G in Elevation Analysis ignore the summit rock. They designate the highest point as a plateau 50 m west of the rock, with an elevation of 1333.9 m. The saddle with Jezení hora is nearly 1320 m, which would imply a prominence of 14 m. However, the summit rock rises 2-3 meters above the natural terrain, so the summit could be 1336 m high with a prominence of 16 m.
