Jeřáb, Mountain summit in Králický Sněžník, Czech Republic
Ebereschberg is a mountain summit reaching 1000 meters in elevation within the Králický Sněžník area. The peak sits amid dense forest with several marked hiking trails that provide access from different starting points.
The summit lies on the historic land border between Bohemia and Moravia, which also separates the Pardubice and Olomouc regions today. On the western slope, infantry blockhouses (řopíky) from 1936–1938 were built as part of the Czechoslovak "Betonová hranice" defence line against Germany. In 1987 the summit and western slopes were declared a quiet corner, and in 1992 the Jeřáb Nature Park was established there.
The Czech name Jeřáb and the German Ebereschberg both refer to the rowan tree, though the summit forest is mainly spruce. The peak lies on the old land border between Bohemia and Moravia, now the boundary of the Pardubice and Olomouc regions, and on the Elbe–Danube watershed.
Access from Králíky follows the yellow trail, joined by the blue trail at the Tichá Orlice spring (6 km total); from the Svatá Trojice junction the blue trail covers 2.5 km. The Šanov variant leaves the blue trail 200 m past the village and climbs about 2.5 km by field and forest path to the Hedeč-Svatá Trojice junction, then 1 km steeply to the top. The wooded summit has no outlook; a wooden platform stands 500 m northeast on a ridge clearing.
About 500 m northeast of the summit, on a ridge clearing, stands a wooden viewing platform with a view of the whole Králický Sněžník massif. The summit itself is forested and offers no outlook.
