Ruprechtický Špičák

Ruprechtický Špičák, Mountain peak in Krkonošsko-Ještědský region, Czech Republic.

Spitzberg, known in Czech as Ruprechtický Špičák, is a conical summit of 880 m in the Javoří hory, the highest point of the Czech part of that range and of Náchod District. Its slopes are covered with spruce forest, with the state border running 10 m below the top on the northeast side. A steel lookout tower stands on the summit.

The mountain is built of extrusive volcanic rock of the northern limb of the Intra-Sudetic Basin, and its summit is the highest point of the Czech Javoří hory and of Náchod District. The state border crosses the north-eastern slope about 10 m below the top, so the Polish slopes lie in the Sudety Wałbrzyskie Landscape Park and the Czech ones in CHKO Broumovsko. A steel telecommunications tower with a free viewing platform was built on the peak in 2002.

The Czech name Ruprechtický Špičák derives from the nearby village of Ruprechtice, while the German form Ruppersdorfer Spitzberg means "Spitzberg of Ruppersdorf". The name reflects the mountain's pointed, conical profile, visible from the south. The Polish name Szpiczak is used for the summit on the Polish side of the border.

A green border trail runs along the state border from Tłumaczów to the Okraj pass, passing 10 m below the summit; the summit itself lies on the Czech side. Czech blue-marked trail connects Meziměstí with Broumov via the peak. The steel lookout tower on top, built in 2002, has a freely accessible viewing platform.

The summit lies only a few dozen metres from the Polish border, which crosses the north-eastern slope about 10 m below the top; the peak itself is in the Czech Republic. It is the highest point of the Czech part of the Javoří hory and of the Broumovsko protected landscape area, and the highest mountain in the Náchod district.
