Kohout, Mountain summit in North Bohemia, Czech Republic

Krohberg (Czech: Kohout) is a 589 m basalt hill in the České středohoří, 4 km south of Benešov nad Ploučnicí. It has a flat-topped cone shape with boulder fields on its slopes and is mostly covered by beech forest. About 150 m east of the summit stands a 12 m round stone lookout tower, topped by a roughly 4 m iron structure with an internal spiral staircase and crowned by an iron rooster.

The stone lookout tower on the summit was built by the Verein deutscher Touristen to plans by Anton Möller and inaugurated on 16 August 1908 for the 60th jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I, after whom it was named. It was comprehensively renovated in 2010 and reopened on 16 April 2011.

The Czech name Kohout and the German Krohberg both mean "rooster", echoed by the iron rooster on the tower's top. The tower was inaugurated on 16 August 1908 for the 60th jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I and was originally named after him.

The summit is reached via a 600 m side path off the blue-marked trail between Valkeřice and Benešov nad Ploučnicí. The tower's viewing platform faces east and north toward the Lusitzer Mountains; beech, sycamore and ash crowns block the other directions. For views into the Ploučnice valley, continue past the side path to the viewpoints further along.

The 12-metre stone tower on the summit is crowned by an iron rooster, a nod to the mountain's name Kohout, Czech for rooster. The tower was inaugurated on 16 August 1908 for the 60th jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I and reopened on 16 April 2011 after renovation.
