Sedlo

The Sedlo summit rises to an elevation of 1254 meters above sea level, featuring exposed granite formations and dense spruce forests at its base.

The summit served as a natural border marker between Bohemia and Bavaria during the Medieval period, controlling important trade routes through the mountains.

Local mountaineering clubs organize annual winter ascents to Sedlo, maintaining Czech climbing traditions that date back to the early 20th century.

The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails from Albrechtice, with the ascent taking approximately three hours through varying terrain levels.

The peak contains rare arctic-alpine plant species that survived here since the last ice age, including isolated populations of Alpine Lady-fern.
