Skalka, Mountain summit in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic

Skalka is the highest summit of the Ondřejník massif and of the whole Podbeskydská pahorkatina, reaching 964 m above sea level between Frýdlant nad Ostravicí and Frenštát pod Radhoštěm. A small wooden mast stands on the top, and the southwestern slope holds the Skalka nature reserve, a fir-beech forest with trees up to 180 years old.

Skalka is the highest point of the Ondřejník massif and of the entire Podbeskydská pahorkatina at 964 m. The Skalka nature reserve was established on its southwestern slope in 1955, protecting a fir-beech forest with trees up to 180 years old.

The name Skalka means "little rock" in Czech. The summit lies on the Ondřejník massif, and from the top there is a view over the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, Moravia and Upper Silesia; the peak itself can be seen from Wodzisław Śląski in Poland.

The shortest approach starts at Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem railway station, from where a blue-marked trail climbs 3.5 km to the summit. From the north, paths from Frýdlant nad Ostravicí, Čeladná, Lhotka or Metylovice lead to the Ondřejník hut and on to the top. The full ridge traverse from Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem to Frýdlant nad Ostravicí, including the hut and summit, is about 10 km.

Skalka is the highest point of the entire Podbeskydská pahorkatina, yet from Poland it can be seen from as far away as Wodzisław Śląski in Upper Silesia. A small wooden mast stands on the bare summit.
