Javorový, Mountain summit in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic

Javorový, also called Velký Javorový, is a 1031 m summit in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids above Třinec, a broad spur running north from the main ridge. About 1.5 km east lies the subsidiary top Malý Javorový (948 m), with a tourist hut, ski slopes, a mountain rescue station, a TV transmitter and a large metal cross.

In 1895 the Beskidenverein built its first shelter here on Malý Javorový, named Erzherzog-Friedrich-Schutzhaus after Archduke Friedrich Habsburg, then Duke of Těšín. It offered 2- and 6-bed rooms and a restaurant seating 90. A private guesthouse built a few dozen metres below in 1930 was bought by the Czechoslovak Tourist Club and turned into a shelter; it burned down in 1945.

The peak carries three names: Czech Javorový, Polish Jaworowy and German Ahornberg, all meaning maple. The Chata Javorový on Malý Javorový began in 1895, when the Beskidenverein built its first shelter in the western Beskids here, the Erzherzog-Friedrich-Schutzhaus, named after Archduke Friedrich Habsburg, then Duke of Těšín and patron of the German tourist association. Guests slept in 2- and 6-bed rooms and ate in a restaurant seating 90.

The main summit is reached by a blue-marked trail from Guty, part of Rovná, which first passes Malý Javorový and then follows the ridge; from Guty a yellow trail leads to Gutské sedlo and joins the blue one. A chairlift runs from Oldřichovice to a station about 500 m from the Chata Javorový, and the mountain rescue service has a station at the hut.

The name Ahornberg was used during the Second World War; Czech sources give the peak's height as 1031 m, Polish sources as 1032 m. The summit lies on the tripoint of the cadastral areas of Řeka, Guty and Tyra, and the ridge through nearby Malý Javorový forms the boundary between Oldřichovice u Třince and Tyra.
