Radegast, Granite statue on Mount Radhošť, Dolní Bečva, Czech Republic.

The granite statue of Radegast stands 3.2 meters tall, featuring a male figure with a lion head, decorated skirt, and belt holding a horn of plenty.

The original concrete statue was created by Czech-American sculptor Albin Polasek in 1931 and replaced with a granite version in 1998 due to weather deterioration.

The statue represents Radegast, a Slavic deity connected to hospitality and crops, reflecting the mountain region's deep connection to ancient religious practices.

Visitors can reach the statue through marked hiking trails connecting to Pustevny, with the original version displayed at Frenštát pod Radhoštěm Town Hall.

The figure combines multiple elements in its design: a lion's face, a bull-headed helmet, ornate clothing, and two symbolic items - an axe and horn.
