Studniční hora, Mountain summit in Giant Mountains, Czech Republic.
Studniční hora is a rounded, dome-shaped summit of crystalline schist in the Czech Giant Mountains, 1,555 m high and the third-highest peak in the country. Its northern and western slopes fall gently toward Bílá louka and Luční hora, while the eastern and southern sides drop steeply into the glacial cirques of Velká and Malá Studniční jáma, Úpská jáma and Modrý důl. The summit lies about 1 km south of the main ridge, above the Úpa peat bog.
