Jítravský vrch (651 m a.s.l.) is a modest but distinctive hill within the Ještěd Nature Park in the Liberec district of the Czech Republic. Formed from amphibolite and garnet amphibolite rock created by Precambrian volcanic activity, it features a striking rock formation called Havran on its northwestern slope.
The hill is mostly covered in mixed coniferous and deciduous forest, offering pleasant shade in summer and vibrant colors in autumn. From the Havran rocks the terrain drops steeply down to Jítravské sedlo (424 m a.s.l.), while on the opposite southeastern side it connects to the higher peak of Vápenný (790 m a.s.l.) and its namesake nature reserve, which also stretches over the southern slopes of Jítravský vrch. It's a quiet, forested spot ideal for hikers looking to escape the crowds.
How to reach the summitThe hill's German name, Schwamberg, is a reminder of the region's history, and the Havran rock outcrop offers one of the more memorable viewpoints along the Ještěd ridge.
