Vrbatovo návrší

Vrbatovo návrší is a mountain summit in the Krkonoše range in northern Czech Republic. It sits positioned between neighboring peaks and serves as a reference point along established hiking routes that cross this high ridge.

The summit takes its name from a skier who died in 1913 during a mountain race while attempting to help another competitor in distress. This tragedy became a defining moment in the region's understanding of alpine rescue and safety.

The summit is named after someone whose sacrifice became part of local memory and understanding of mountain safety. Visitors today often connect their experience here to broader awareness of rescue efforts and their importance in alpine regions.

The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails that depart from valley locations in the surrounding area. Summer bus services connect to nearby starting points, making the ascent more convenient for visitors.

An old mountain road built in the 1930s still exists at the summit but is not open to regular traffic. The road itself stands as a relic of early infrastructure development that shaped how people moved through this alpine area.
