Description

[edit]

The eastern slope of the hill is very steep. The whole hill is covered mainly by coniferous forest (mainly spruce trees) and meadows. A deciduous forest grows on the southern slope, falling to Zbečník. A part of the forest on the top of the hill and the north slope is formed by young coniferous trees. A very small stream flows from the northern slope, from Rokytník to Velký Dřevíč. On the top of the hill there is a radio communications transmitter. In the western direction from the top of hill, construction of an artillery fort of the Czechoslovak border fortification system was planned prior to World War II.
