Dunajovická hora, Mountain summit in Dunajovice, Czech Republic.
Dunajovická hora is a 500 m hill above Dunajovice, 6 km northeast of Lišov and 6 km northwest of Třeboň, in the Třeboň Basin. Its forested slope holds an abandoned, partly flooded quarry. From the top, views reach the Třeboň Basin, Veselí nad Lužnicí, Soběslav, Tábor, Choustník Castle, and the ponds Kaňov and Rožmberk.
A lookout tower was built on the summit during the First Republic and disappeared during the war. The Stations of the Cross below, dating from 1885, run 1,300 m in a loop of fourteen niche chapels from the Chapel of the Holy Cross at the foot of the hill.
The Stations of the Cross from 1885 form a 1,300-metre circuit of fourteen niche chapels with paintings, starting and ending at the Chapel of the Holy Cross at the foot of the mountain. A mass and pilgrimage are held here every year on Pentecost. A separate niche chapel of Our Lady of the Snows stands on the mountain itself.
