Velká Deštná, Mountain summit in Hradec Králové Region, Czech Republic.
The Velká Deštná peak reaches 1,116 meters above sea level, marking the highest point in the Orlické Mountains and Central Sudetes range.
Construction of Czechoslovak fortifications along the eastern slopes of Velká Deštná took place between 1936 and 1938 as part of military preparations.
The mountain observation tower, opened in 2019, features steel construction with wooden cladding designed to create sounds reminiscent of rainfall in the wind.
Multiple marked hiking paths lead to the summit, which receives approximately 100,000 visitors annually and offers access to cross-country skiing trails in winter.
The summit stands within the Jelení lázeň Nature Reserve, an 8.2-hectare protected area containing ridge bogs and rare plant species.
