Javorová skála, Mountain summit in Vlašim Highlands, Czech Republic

Located 6.5 kilometers north of Jistebnice, Javorová skála reaches an elevation of 723 meters, making it the highest peak in the Vlašimská pahorkatina region.

The mountain area gained recognition in the late 19th century when it was nicknamed Czech Meran, drawing comparisons to the Italian town of Merano.

Local folklore includes tales of Čertovo břemeno, a granite formation near the peak that reportedly shows marks from a demon's burden.

Visitors can access the summit through green-marked trails from Jistebnice or Cunkov village, or via a yellow-marked path from Nadějkov.

The northeastern slope contains durbachites, a specific type of syenite rock formation named after the local Čertovo břemeno geological feature.
