Blaník, Mountain summit in Louňovice pod Blaníkem, Czech Republic
The granite mountain reaches an elevation of 638 meters and features two distinct peaks within the Středočeská pahorkatina highland region.
A circular hillfort with two rows of stone walls was constructed at the summit during the 5th century BC, with remnants still visible.
The mountain holds a strong connection to Czech mythology through the legend of knights sleeping inside, led by Saint Wenceslaus, ready to protect the nation.
Visitors can climb the 30-meter wooden lookout tower, constructed in 1941, which contains 107 steps leading to panoramic views of Central Bohemia.
The foundation stone from Blaník Mountain was placed in the National Theatre in Prague as a symbol of Czech national identity.
