Dunajovická hora, Mountain summit in Dunajovice, Czech Republic.
Dunajovická hora is a mountain summit in Dunajovice standing at 505 meters elevation with a partially flooded quarry on its forested slopes. The location offers far-reaching views across the Třeboň Basin toward several settlements and castle ruins in the surrounding area.
An observation tower once stood at the summit during the First Republic era but was destroyed during World War II. The site later became a religious destination after the Stations of the Cross were established.
The mountain holds fourteen Stations of the Cross built in 1885, with small chapels containing religious paintings and sculptures placed along a walking circuit. These stations remain an important pilgrimage destination and reflect the spiritual importance of this place to local communities.
The mountain is accessible via marked trails and offers extensive views on clear days. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and allow time to walk the full circuit of the Stations of the Cross.
The quarry area displays traces of past mining activity creating an unusual blend of industrial heritage and modern religious use. This combination of extraction history and spiritual purpose makes the site distinct among other pilgrimage destinations.
