Medvědín

Medvědín, Mountain summit in Liberec Region, Czech Republic

Schüsselberg (Medvědín) is a wooded summit in the Krkonoše (Giant Mountains) on the Bohemian Ridge, about 2.5 km northwest of Špindlerův Mlýn. Its north and east sides drop 400–500 m into the Elbe valley, while a shallow saddle separates it from Zlaté návrší to the west. A television transmitter stands on top, and a chairlift from Špindlerův Mlýn has reached the summit since 1979.

Uranium ore was found here by a walking gamma survey in 1952, and from 1953 two adits were driven through the massif from Horní Mísečky to the Elbe valley. Mining began on 5 April 1956; by the end of 1958, 24.5 tonnes of uranium metal had been extracted from six mineralised veins.

The German name Schüsselberg, "Bowl Mountain", refers to the hollowed summit shape above Spindlermühle. Since 1975 a chairlift from the town has carried skiers and hikers up; the summit transmitter serves radio and television to the surrounding villages.

The easiest way up is the chairlift from Špindlerův Mlýn, which ends a few dozen metres below the summit. A roughly two-kilometre branch off the Masarykova silnice from Horní Mísečky also leads up, marked red then yellow and open to cyclists. The lift has run since 1979.

Between 1952 and 1958, two adits were driven through the Medvědín massif from Horní Mísečky to the Labský důl valley, and 24.5 tonnes of uranium were extracted before the mine closed on 1 January 1959. The adit mouths were later demolished and the shaft flooded and sealed with concrete.
