Rubín Podbořany, Cultural monument and hillfort in Dolánky, Czech Republic
Rubín Podbořany is a hillfort sitting at 351.7 meters elevation, topped with an eight-meter-high wooden observation tower. The tower offers views across surrounding mountain ridges and the landscape below.
Before the 10th century, this hilltop served as a fortified settlement for Celtic and Slavic tribes in the region. Some scholars link it to the historical site of Wogastisburg.
The site holds designation as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, reflecting its importance in preserving national heritage and archaeological records.
The site is reachable from Podbořany via a 7-kilometer route, with parking near Pšov cemetery where you can leave your car. Access to the hilltop itself is on foot through forest paths.
From the tower, you can see both natural mountain chains and the distant industrial power plants of Prunéřov and Tušimice. This contrast between ancient settlement and modern industry creates an unexpected view from such a historic spot.
