The little brother of Vysoký Ostrý, which is worth the ascent. The peak is forested, with limited views of the Elbe basin and rock formations at the summit.

I don't want to shatter your illusions, but you are climbing a hill that has a completely different name, namely "Průčelský vrch / Prutschelberg". The little brother of Velký Ostrý, as you write, is located about 450 m southwest and is a beautiful cone similar to its larger sibling. Simply put, after World War II, someone made a mistake on the maps, and it has been copied ever since :-) The last time M.O. was correctly listed was on the topographic map from 1952; on every subsequent map, it has been incorrectly listed :-) Unlike the currently mentioned M.O., the original offers a beautiful view of the Elbe and the Central Bohemian Highlands, almost of the same quality and extent as Vysoký Ostrý. However, there is no viewing platform at its summit; you literally have to scramble up the basalt slabs (a point of interest), but as a reward, a surprise awaits you that is not common on the peaks of the Central Bohemian Highlands - a statue of the Virgin Mary :-)
