Pustý Zámek, Extinct volcano in Hradiště Military Area, Czech Republic.

Rising to an elevation of 933 meters, Pustý Zámek features steep slopes formed by ancient volcanic activity in the Doupov Mountains.

The mountain became part of a military training ground in 1953 when the nearby town of Doupov was cleared to establish the Hradiště Military Area.

The mountain preserves natural elements of the Czech landscape while serving as an active military training site within the Karlovy Vary region.

Access to Pustý Zámek requires special permits due to its location within an active military zone, with limited entry periods for civilian visitors.

The mountain contains geological formations from the Tertiary period, positioned at the intersection of the Podkrušnohorské and Jáchymovské fault lines.
