Pancíř, Mountain summit in Plzeň Region, Czech Republic.

Pancíř is a mountain summit in the Plzeň Region that rises to 1,214 meters and features open meadows, spruce forests, and planted dwarf pines across its slopes. The peak transitions gradually from wooded areas to more exposed terrain, creating diverse landscapes within a compact space.

The mountain hut and its 23-meter observation tower were built in 1923; the viewing platform sits at 18 meters. In 1971 a chairlift from Špičák to the summit began operating, measuring 2.739 km with an intermediate station at Hofmanky.

Pancíř sits on the main European watershed: the Úhlava springs on its southwest slope and the Řezná on its southeast slope, while the Křemelná rises north of the peak on the slope of Jedlová. The summit is also a photo point with wooden doors installed by the We Love Šumava association, present from 1 May to 31 December.

A chairlift system connects the lower area to the summit through Hofmanka station, offering easy access to hiking trails and winter sports facilities. The infrastructure around the mountain is well-organized for seasonal activities and makes navigation straightforward.

Since autumn 2019, wooden doors have stood on the summit as a photo point, a project of the association We Love Šumava. They are not present all year: they are removed after 31 December because of snow clearing and safety, and put back in spring, remaining from 1 May to 31 December.
