Podhorni vrch, Nature reserve in Ovesné Kladruby, Czech Republic.
The forested mountain of Podhorní vrch features two peaks, Velká Podhora at 847 meters and Malá Podhora at 829 meters above sea level.
The mountain formed during the Tertiary period through volcanic activity, and until World War II, a quarry extracted high-quality basalt for road construction.
Local folklore tells of a Mountain Spirit living in the rocks who controlled the weather, causing lightning, hail, and rain, making residents avoid the area.
Visitors can access the reserve through multiple hiking routes, including a seven-kilometer trail from Mariánské Lázně or a shorter two-kilometer path from the south.
The site contains geological formations of olivine-nephelinite dating back 17 million years, with samples collected by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe preserved in Weimar.
