Ralsko, Basalt summit in Liberec Region, Czech Republic

The Ralsko mountain rises 698 meters above sea level, forming an isolated cone structure within the Bohemian Table subprovince near Česká Lípa.

The Gothic Ralsko Castle, constructed in the 13th century with two residential towers added in the 14th century, remained operational until its abandonment in 1505.

The mountain holds multiple names across languages, with Germans referring to it as Rollberg, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the Bohemian region.

The protected nature reserve spans 23.7 hectares at the summit, offering marked hiking trails for visitors to explore the geological formations and castle ruins.

The Bohemian Lusatian League captured the mountain fortress in 1468 by concealing soldiers among cattle returning to the castle grounds.
