There are numerous places in the Ore Mountains that even most locals don’t know about. This is partly because they are located in the Bohemian Ore Mountains and there is little or no literature about them.
An absolute hidden gem, with a spectacular view, is the 825-meter-high Mnišská skála (Mönchsfelsen) near Kryštofovy Hamry (Christophhammer).
Legend has it that a monk lived there… but that’s another story and part of our premium hiking trail.
