Pohledecká Skála, Granite summit in Žďárské vrchy mountains, Czech Republic.
Pohledecká Skála is a forested rocky ridge in the Žďárské vrchy mountains, formed of two-mica migmatite to orthogneiss, with its summit at 813 m. The top section, about 400 m long between 790 and 812 m, holds rock formations, but the highest crag lies inside a fenced, inaccessible military object.
The area functioned as a military zone with restricted public access in earlier times. Following changes in territorial administration, these sections became open to visitors.
The rock formations within the protected landscape region hold geological importance and serve as nesting grounds for multiple bird species.
The summit rock lies inside a fenced, inaccessible military object, and the surrounding first protection zone of the Žďárské vrchy landscape area is closed to keep nesting birds undisturbed. The rock system is partly visible from the forest path along the boundary of the closed zone, about 2 km northeast of the chapel in Pohledec.
The highest rock of the summit ridge lies inside a fenced military installation that is closed to the public, so the top itself cannot be visited. The ridge is built of two-mica migmatite to orthogneiss, and the rock section above 790 m is about 400 m long.
