Radegast, Sculpture on Mount Radegast in Dolní Bečva, Czech Republic

Radegast is a sculpture of the Slavic god of the sun and abundance standing just below the 1106 m summit of Radegast in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, 1 km southwest of Pustevny. The over 3 m figure by Czech-American sculptor Albín Polášek dates from 1931; the piece on the mountain is a copy, with the original in the Frenštát pod Radhoštěm town hall.

The original Radegast was created in 1931 by sculptor Albín Polášek, funded by Czech Americans as a gift to their homeland. A new granite version was created during restoration work in the 2010s to protect the sculpture from further weather damage.

The mountain is named after Radegast, a Slavic god of the sun and abundance, and the 1931 statue by Czech-American sculptor Albín Polášek stands just below the summit. A buffet beside the sculpture sells refreshments and souvenirs, and the figure is a stop on the blue-marked trail between Pustevny and Radhošť.

The statue stands just below the 1,106 m summit of Radegast, about 1 km southwest of Pustevny and 2.5 km east-southeast of Radhošť. A blue-marked trail from Pustevny to Radhošť passes over the summit; a yellow trail from Skalíkova louka leads up from the south, and a green trail from Trojanovice crosses the ridge in the saddle west of the peak. In winter the Pustevny ski lifts run nearby.

The summit statue is a copy; the 1931 original by Albín Polášek stands in the Frenštát pod Radhoštěm town hall. A second original cast is in Prague Zoo, so three versions of the Radegast figure exist.
