Růžová hora, Mountain summit in Krkonoše Mountains, Czech Republic
Růžová hora (Rosenberg) is a summit in the eastern Krkonoše, about 3 km north of Pec pod Sněžkou and 2 km south of Sněžka. Its top is covered with dwarf pine, the surrounding forest is mostly spruce, and the side slopes drop steeply into the Úpa and Jelení potok valleys. A cable-car transfer station stands at 1,354 m.
The summit lies on the ridge running south from Sněžka, separated from it by a shallow saddle at about 1,360 m. A chairlift from Pec pod Sněžkou to Sněžka opened in 1949 and has an interchange station on the mountain at 1,354 m. Witness accounts, otherwise undocumented, mention a freight cableway begun in 1938 for Czechoslovak border fortifications and never finished after the Munich Agreement.
The name Rosenberg refers to the pinkish bloom of the dwarf pine on the summit. The yellow-marked Kubátova cesta ridge trail from Sněžka to Růžohorky and the Úpa confluence crosses the summit area, passing about 300 metres from the top itself.
The yellow-marked Kubátova cesta ridge trail crosses the summit area from Sněžka toward Růžohorky and Portášovy Boudy; the summit itself lies about 300 m left of the path when heading to Sněžka. The section toward Portášovy Boudy is a supply road open to off-road vehicles, while the stretch to Sněžka is for walkers only. A cable car from Pec pod Sněžkou to Sněžka has its transfer station on the mountain at 1354 m.
The summit lies about 300 metres off the yellow-marked Kubátova cesta ridge trail, so hikers heading to Sněžka pass below it without noticing. A transfer station of the cable car from Pec pod Sněžkou to Sněžka stands at 1,354 m on the mountain's slope; the line opened in 1949.
