Nejsevernější bod Česka, Memorial marker in Severní, Lobendava, Czech Republic
The northernmost point of the Czech Republic is marked by a memorial stone unveiled on 28 October 2013 beside border stone No. 2/41, on the cadastral territory of Severní, part of Lobendava in the Děčín district. The stone stands on the northeastern slope of Buková hora at about 434 m above sea level, roughly 640 m northeast of the summit.
The memorial stone was officially dedicated in 2013 as part of a program to mark important geographical points across the country. Directional signs had been placed in the area earlier to guide people to the exact location.
The spot is nicknamed "Nordkap" in both Czechia and neighbouring Saxony, echoing Norway's North Cape. A German article by Peter Stache in the Sächsische Zeitung in 2005 popularised the name, and its text is reproduced on an information board on the Saxon side near boundary stone 2/40 by the "Am Nordkap" shelter.
You can reach the location by hiking or by car, with signs placed to guide you to the spot. Access is straightforward once you follow the directional markers.
The Czech "Nordkap" lies 290 km in a straight line from the Baltic Sea, the shortest distance between the Czech Republic and any sea. Until 2013, border stone 2/40 was considered the northernmost point; a survey then identified the neighbouring stone 2/41, west of it, and a memorial was unveiled there on 28 October 2013.
