Čerchov, Mountain summit in Western Bohemia, Czech Republic.
Schwarzkopf, also known as Čerchov, is a mountain summit in the Bohemian Forest with views across the surrounding forests and valleys. The mountain is accessible via several marked trails of varying difficulty, accommodating hikers with different experience levels.
The mountain has served local communities as a navigation point for centuries within the dense forest landscape. Its prominent position helped people find their way through this remote region.
People in nearby villages share stories about ghostly figures and mysterious events said to occur on the mountain. These tales remain deeply woven into how locals talk about and experience the place.
The best time to visit is from May through October when weather is most stable and paths are easiest to navigate. Wear sturdy footwear and bring water, as the summit is exposed with little shelter available.
During winter the mountain becomes a destination for skiers and snowshoe hikers, giving the summit a completely different character. These seasonal activities make it appealing to various types of visitors throughout the year.
