Pancíř

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.

An 18-meter observation tower with 68 steps was constructed on the peak, leading to a 15-meter high viewing platform. This structure was added to provide visitors with elevated views across the surrounding territory.

Three rivers originate from Pancíř mountain: Úhlava and Křemelná flowing toward the North Sea, while Řezná flows into the Black Sea.

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.

On clear days, visitors can spot the Alps from the observation platform, particularly the Dachstein massif roughly 200 kilometers away. This far-reaching visibility makes the view from this point exceptionally valuable for those interested in distant mountain landscapes.
