Ptačí Kámen

Ptačí Kámen, Mountain summit on the Czech-Polish border, Krkonoše, Czech Republic

Im Löchel, known in Czech as Čihadlo and in Polish as Ptasi Kamień, is a 1215 m summit on the Czech-Polish border in the Śląskie Grzbiet ridge of the Karkonosze. It is a broad, little-prominent rise of Karkonosze granite between the Karkonoska Pass and the Dołek Pass, covered in upper-montane spruce forest and topped by a small rock outcrop.

The summit lies on the Polish-Czech border, separating the Karkonoska Pass to the east from the Dołek Pass to the west. Its German name Im Löchel and Czech name Čihadlo appear in records of the Silesian Ridge; the red-marked Czech-Polish Friendship Trail now crosses the summit plateau.

The summit has three names: Czech Čihadlo, Polish Ptasi Kamień and German Im Löchel or Vogelstein, all used for the same border peak. The Czech name means "snare", while the Polish and German ones mean "bird stone", after the small granite rock on the flat top.

The red-marked main Krkonoše ridge trail of Czech-Polish friendship runs directly across the flat summit plateau. From Špindlerova bouda, 500 m east, a green trail leads to Špindlerův Mlýn (5.5 km), a yellow one to the Bílé Labe valley (3 km), and a blue one into Poland.

The summit lies on the Polish-Czech border, and the main Krkonoše ridge trail, the red-marked Path of Czech-Polish Friendship, runs directly across its flat top. The mountain hotel Špindlerova bouda stands in the saddle with Malý Šišák, about 500 m east of the summit.
