The Vysoký kámen (German High Stone) is up to 773.8 m above sea level. NHN towering, prominent rocky ridge on the border between the western Ore Mountains and the Elster Mountains in the west of the Czech Republic. The ridge and its immediate surroundings have been a protected natural monument since 1974. It is used as a climbing rock and is also suitable for beginners due to the mostly low level of difficulty of its routes.
From Germany you can reach it after two kilometers of well-signposted hiking trails up to the Czech part of the Elstergebirge ridge.
The rock massif is reminiscent of the ruins of a castle. It consists of an elongated plateau, stretching about 300 m in a north-south direction and often steeply sloping at its edges, from which several individual rock towers rise. It has its highest point at the southern end with the Vyhlidková Skála ('lookout rock'; height above the plateau 25 m; absolute height: 773.8 m n.m.). This can be reached via a steel footbridge and similar stairs. Other rock towers are the Zobák ('Beak') and the monumental Vêtrná skála ('Wind Rock') at the northern end of the massif.
