Liščí vrch is a modest but charming peak in the Javoří hory (Dry Mountains), part of the Kamenné hory range within the Central Sudetes of northwestern Czechia. It's a great pick for hikers seeking a quieter corner of the mountains, away from crowded trails, while still enjoying the distinctive borderland scenery.
The summit forms the southern end of the Rudný vrch massif, sitting on a side ridge that branches off the main ridge of the Dry Mountains. The top is covered with a spruce forest typical of the lower montane zone, while just below it open fields, meadows and wasteland stretch out, giving the area a peaceful, rural feel. The whole massif lies within the Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area, meaning the scenery remains largely untouched. Winters here are quiet and often snow-covered, while summers are pleasant thanks to the shade of the spruce woods.
How to reach the summitInterestingly, the hill is built of Permian volcanic rocks — melaphyres (trachybasalts) — a reminder of the region's volcanic past millions of years ago.
