Malý Stožec, Mountain summit in Lužické hory, Czech Republic

The basalt hill reaches an elevation of 659 meters and features steep rocky cliffs with vertical to overhanging walls on its southeastern face.

The mountain cave called Komora served as a hideout for Fridolin Rauch, a local outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor.

Local residents named it Obří hlava due to its northwestern profile resembling a human face with the highest rock formation representing the nose.

Visitors can reach the summit via a yellow-marked hiking trail that starts from the Chřibská railway station through a steep scree field.

The ridge forms a natural watershed boundary between the Baltic Sea and North Sea drainage basins, marking a significant geographical divide.
