Godula, Mountain summit in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, Czech Republic

Godula is a summit in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids region that rises to 738 meters and is covered by dense forests. Multiple marked hiking trails cross its slopes, connecting several starting points throughout the area.

During the Counter-Reformation, Protestants from nearby Guty who lost their church gathered at a forest church on Godula. In 1931, the 150th anniversary of the Patent of Toleration, a memorial was erected about 0.5 km south of the summit. A monument to the founding of the First Czechoslovak Republic stands just below the top.

The name Godula comes from the greenish sandstone layers that build the summit, first described here and quarried from the 18th century on the slopes above Komorní Lhotka and Řeka. That stone was cut into most of the wayside crosses, statues and gravestones still standing in Cieszyn Silesia.

From Komorní Lhotka a yellow KČT trail runs 3.5 km from the village square to the summit; cycle route 6083 also passes just below it. From Řeka a 5 km route follows the yellow, green and yellow trails via Pod Ropičkou and Ropičník, or the Godula treasure nature trail starts at Hotel Řeka.

The greenish sandstones that build the summit were first described here, which is why geologists call them Godula sandstones. From the 18th century they were quarried on the slopes above Ligotka Kameralna and Řeka, and most of the wayside crosses, statues and gravestones still standing in Cieszyn Silesia were cut from this stone.
