Milešovka, Extinct volcano in Velemín, Czech Republic
Milešovka rises to 836.6 meters as the highest peak of the Central Bohemian Mountains, displaying a symmetrical cone shape formed from phonolite rock.
The mountain originated from volcanic activity 20 to 30 million years ago during tectonic movements that contributed to the formation of the Alps.
Archaeological findings, including pottery shards from the Neolithic period, indicate the mountain served as a ritual and observation site for early civilizations.
Three marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with the shortest 2.5-kilometer route starting from Milešov village and ascending 450 meters in elevation.
The mountain houses a meteorological station at its peak, where visitors can learn about weather patterns while enjoying views extending to the Erzgebirge mountains.
