    Hiking

    Even if not marked as a local tourist path, it is worth visiting, the path is easy to follow (from the roads crossing about 100m west from the rocky summit). When there is fog in the valley, this summit is sometimes above these!

    The Meluzína (Wirbelstein) is 1094 m high and is located three kilometers east of the Klínovec (Keilberg 1243.7 m) near the Boží Dar–Měděnec road directly on the ridge of the Ore Mountains.
    The Meluzína is located directly on the red-marked ridge path of the European long-distance hiking trail E3. You can climb to the summit via an unmarked branch.
    Very beautiful views are worth the detour from the trail.

    Hiking

    At 1,097 meters, Meluzína (Swirlstone) is the fourth-highest peak in the Czech Ore Mountains. It is a striking 700-meter-long and 250-meter-wide rocky ridge. Its slopes and summit plateau are littered with rocks and boulders. The mountain is named after the mythological banshee Melusine, whose legs resembled snake tails. Because she always moaned and complained whenever she appeared, her name also became a French term for a strong wind that howls in the cracks of houses, trees, or rocks. The German name Wirbelstein also suggests a connection to wind and storms.
