Svatobor, Mountain summit near Sušice, Czech Republic

The Svatobor summit stands at 845 meters above sea level, featuring forest paths and multiple hiking trails leading to its television tower observation point.

Count Jan Ferdinand Desfours constructed a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Help near the summit in 1748, marking a significant religious landmark in the region.

The mountain holds connections to local folklore through the legend of priestess Vodolena, whose burial site allegedly created a healing spring in the area.

Visitors can access the summit via an 8-kilometer marked trail from Sušice town square, with free parking available near the tourist intersection below the tower.

A former spa called Vodolenka operated near the mountain, treating patients including composer Bedřich Smetana before transforming into a pioneer camp in the 1960s.
