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!

Hiking

In my opinion, words cannot describe this place, I was totally fascinated. The uphill is quite steep and over all kinds of stones and rocks. The view and tranquility up there is worth it.

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.
