Tips
A nation apart - the Battle of Studenec, located on the saddle of the same name east of the mountain. In 1757, one of the largest battles of the Seven Years' War on Czech territory took place here. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Prussian and Habsburg armies fought here for three days, and several hundred were killed. The Prussians retreated north with their spoils of war, but were caught and attacked by the imperial army. The spoils of war were largely destroyed and plundered in the battle. The victories of the Habsburg army at Studenec and Kolín were considered the rebirth of the monarchy.
