Čihadlo, Mountain summit in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic

Čihadlo is a mountain summit in Central Bohemia that rises above the surrounding landscape and offers views across the region near Prague. Forests and natural formations characterize the area around this elevated point.

From the 1970s to the 1990s, the summit hosted the 11th anti-aircraft missile division Točná 71 of Prague's air defence brigade. Since the first decade of the 21st century, the rear part of the site has belonged to the University of Economics, Prague, which uses it as a training and recreation centre and library depository.

The name Čihadlo, meaning a snare for catching birds, is shared with the hill and recalls old hunting practices in the woods. The partially wooded summit also holds the grounds of a former anti-aircraft missile unit, later used by the University of Economics in Prague as a training and recreation centre and library depository.

Access is available through marked hiking trails, with spring and autumn offering better visibility conditions for the climb. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather, as the higher elevation brings exposure to the elements.

Čihadlo is Prague's highest separate peak, though the nearby Kopanina ridge reaches 393 m and Teleček is the city's highest point overall. From the northeastern slope near the Nouzov locality, Ještěd is visible 92 km away and Sněžka 125 km away.
