Brník (471 m a.s.l.), locally also called Bába, is a striking volcanic peak in the České středohoří (Central Bohemian Uplands) that, together with Srdov and Oblík, forms a trio of solitary hills lined up in a row. It's a place where raw rock and open steppe-like landscape create a truly distinctive scene.

The hill is built from a vein of olivine nephelinite, and frost weathering has carved out characteristic rock cliffs and walls with visible columnar jointing. On a clear day, the summit offers an excellent panoramic view across the surrounding uplands. In spring and summer the slopes are covered with rare heat-loving plants, and the dry, open terrain gives Brník a different character than most forested Czech hills - more like a steppe island rising above the fields.

• Charvatce u Loun - approach via a local path, relatively short hike, easy to moderate difficulty due to steep, rocky sections
• Also accessible from the neighboring Srdov, with which Brník forms a twin-peak massif locally called Dědek a Bába

• The summit lies within the Oblík - Srdov - Brník Site of Community Importance, part of the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area (335 hectares), protecting rare thermophilic plant and animal species
• Due to nature protection, it's recommended to stick to the marked paths

Locals have long called Brník and neighboring Srdov Dědek a Bába (Grandpa and Grandma) - the two hills standing side by side have inspired local folklore for generations.
