Filipka, Mountain summit in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic.
Filipka is a mountain summit in the Moravian-Silesian Region reaching 771 meters in elevation. The area is surrounded by mixed forests with several hiking routes that vary in difficulty and terrain.
The name "louka v Hluchové pod Sošovem" (meadow in Hluchová below Sošov) was recorded in 1722 for the pastoral huts and settlements of the area, Filipka among them. A wooden hut, Bojková chata, stood on the summit from 1936 to 1956; Halamova útulna stood in the hamlet of Zimný pod Stožkem from 1926 to 1960. A tripoint boundary stone marks where the municipalities of Hrádek, Návsí and Nýdek meet.
The name Filipka comes from the mountain pasture recorded in 1722 as "Wiese in der Glochowa unterm Soshaw" (meadow in Hluchová below Sošov), which referred to the herding huts and settlements of the area. Around the summit stand buildings of the Filipka hamlet, the oldest a traditional Goral wooden house, with the restaurant of the same name beside it.
The nearby village of Návsí serves as the main starting point for hikers heading to this summit. A restaurant stop is available along the route, making it convenient to break your journey and rest.
A small memorial near the summit bears the inscription "Forstmeister Emil Merk † 24. VI. 1911", commemorating a forestry official who died in 1911. The summit also has a tripoint boundary stone marking the meeting of the cadastral areas of Hrádek, Návsí and Nýdek.
