Zuberský vrch, Mountain summit in Trhová Kamenice, Czech Republic.
Zuberský vrch is a mountain summit in the Železné hory region reaching approximately 650 meters in elevation. The peak stands within a protected landscape area and features varied rock formations along its slopes.
The Chapel of St John of Nepomuk near the summit was built in 1704–1705, one of the earliest chapels dedicated to this Bohemian patron saint. It stands on the site of a demolished fortress that guarded a trade route between Bohemia and Moravia. The chapel was later restored several times, most recently its facade in 2017.
The chapel by the summit is one of the earliest dedicated to St John of Nepomuk, a principal patron saint of Bohemia, and served as a pilgrimage site with a feast on 16 May. The village of Zubří below preserves a row of timber-framed cottages of folk architecture.
The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails that depart from nearby villages and towns. The paths remain walkable year-round and require only standard hiking shoes.
The lookout is not on the summit itself: a 55 m radio tower built by a mobile operator stands about 530 m northeast of the top, on the slope at 615 m. Its viewing platform sits at 39 m and opened in June 2004.
