Říp Mountain, Extinct volcano in Mnetěš, Czech Republic.
The basalt mountain rises 461 meters above the surrounding plains, forming a distinctive dome shape visible from the Central Bohemian landscape.
The Romanesque rotunda of St. George and St. Wojciech at the summit dates from the 12th century, commissioned by Duke Sobiesław I after the Battle of Chlumec.
Czech mythology identifies this mountain as the place where the legendary ancestor Čech chose to settle his people in the fertile lands.
The mountain features marked trails from multiple starting points, with the main path beginning in Rovné village and extending 2.5 kilometers to the summit.
The mountain contains high concentrations of magnetite mineral, creating a measurable magnetic anomaly in the surrounding area.
