Pytlácké kameny, Rock formation in Ludvíkov, Czech Republic.

Pytlácké kameny is a 1027 m summit in the Medvědská hornatina range, 4 km southwest of Vrbno pod Pradědem. Its top is a broad rock group about 90 by 60 m, covered with spruce forest and high-mountain grass, with mostly sharp rocks offering little flat standing room. A geodetic point at 1015.31 m lies 80 m northwest of the summit.

The summit was called Plošina in the second half of the 20th century; the German name Machold Platte is also recorded. It is a side summit of Žárový vrch in the Medvědská hornatina range, 4 km southwest of Vrbno pod Pradědem, and its 1027 m height is only slightly above the thousand-metre mark. A geodetic point of 1015.31 m stands about 80 m northwest of the top.

The Czech name Pytlácké kameny means Poacher's Stones; the German name Machold Platte is recorded for the same summit. In the second half of the 20th century the peak was officially called Plošina, a name still used in Polish sources. The summit lies in the Medvědská hornatina, on a side ridge of Žárový vrch.

No marked trail reaches the summit; the easiest approach starts from the edge of Vrbno pod Pradědem or Ludvíkov along Šestková cesta to the Sedlo pod Zámeckou horou saddle, then follows a ridge path that fades around 900 m. A faint cleared strip reappears near 1000 m. The approach from Žárový vrch is easier to follow, descending steeply between rocks to the saddle. Detailed maps are advised.

The summit is a broad rock group about 90 by 60 metres, surrounded by spruce forest and high-altitude grass, with a geodetic point of 1015.31 m about 80 m northwest of the top. The Czech surveying office gives the highest point as 1026.7 m. The peak was called Plošina in the second half of the 20th century.
