Malchor, Mountain summit near Lysá hora, Czech Republic
Malchor is a 1219-metre summit in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, a northern secondary peak of Lysá hora about 1 km from its main summit. Its top lies at a geodetic point in dense forest off any path, and its western slopes hold the Malenovický kotel nature reserve.
The peak was renamed from Melichar to Malchor in 1836 and may be named after a shepherd who worked in the surrounding pastures. This change reflects the pastoral heritage of the mountain region.
