Poledník, Mountain summit in Prášily, Czechia
The gneiss mountain Poledník rises to an elevation of 1,315 meters within the Šumava mountain range near the German border.
The observation tower on Poledník served as a secret military radio surveillance station during the Cold War, monitoring communications between 1960 and 1989.
The mountain forms part of the Šumava National Park, where traditional Czech folk festivals celebrate regional music and customs throughout the year.
Marked hiking trails connect the summit to surrounding villages, with guided tours available through the museum displaying local history exhibits.
Visitors to the renovated military tower experience panoramic views spanning multiple countries, including sightlines to Great Arber and Rachel peaks.
