Sokol, Summit in North Bohemia, Czech Republic

The summit rises to 580 meters above sea level, offering views of the surrounding forests and the Bohemian countryside near Česká Kamenice.

The mountain served as a strategic observation point during the territorial conflicts between Bohemian and Saxon forces in the Middle Ages.

The name Sokol, meaning falcon in Czech, reflects the regional naming tradition of mountains after birds and animals in Central European countries.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from the nearby town of Česká Kamenice, with the red trail providing the most direct access.

The granite formations at the summit create natural wind tunnels that produce distinctive whistling sounds during strong weather conditions.
