Festungshübel, Granite summit in Krkonoše Mountains, Czech Republic
The Festungshübel summit features distinct granite rock formations reaching heights of 7 meters, located at an elevation of 1012 meters above sea level.
Natural erosion processes over thousands of years exposed the granite pluton of the Krkonoše Mountains, forming the current rock structure during the last ice age.
The formation belongs to the Krkonoše National Park, where zone III protection regulations permit climbing activities on the granite rocks.
Visitors can reach the summit via a forest path or follow the yellow-marked trail from Špindlerův Mlýn, with bus connections available near Davidovy Boudy.
The geological structure exhibits orthogonal joint systems and woolsack weathering patterns, similar to the tor formations found in Dartmoor, England.
