Jordán, Mountain summit in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Jordán is a summit in the Central Brdy hills, about 6 km east of Strašice, whose top is covered with spruce forest. Its northern slopes hold the former Jordán military impact area, where a infantry blockhouse CE was completed in 1936 and tested with artillery fire. Since 2016 the area is open only along marked hardened paths because of unexploded ordnance.

After the Brdy firing range was founded in 1926, the Jordán area became one of two sites in Brdy where components of the Czechoslovak fortification system were tested. An infantry blockhouse, completed in 1936, was built here and subjected to shelling trials. Nazi Germany later used the range as Truppenübungsplatz Kammwald, and some structures were added after World War II.

The name Jordán also belongs to the former military impact area on the northern slopes, where the Czechoslovak fortification was tested from 1926 and infantry blockhouse CE was completed in 1936. The open plains between Jordán and Houpák were among the most visited spots in the Central Brdy before access was opened, and films including Svěrák's Obecná škola were shot here.

The hike to the summit takes around two hours and follows marked trails from nearby parking areas. It is advisable to take care in wet or poor weather conditions, as the paths can become slippery.

The plains between Jordán and Houpák hold stone polygons and frost cracks, periglacial forms otherwise found near the Arctic Circle or at much higher elevations; the site is valued by geomorphologists and botanists.
