Pohradická hora is a modest but charming basalt hill in the Central Bohemian Highlands, rising to 419 metres just south of the village of Ohníč. It's a place with an interesting past and pleasant views, well worth a short detour for hikers exploring the region.
The summit is a quiet, wooded dome that once carried a lookout tower and a small pavilion, built in the mid-19th century on the orders of the Archbishop of Prague. After the Second World War the structures fell into ruin, but the hilltop still rewards visitors with fine views: to the north over the Bílá valley towards the Teplice castle hill, and to the southeast towards Kostomlaty pod Milešovkou with its chateau and the ruined castle above it. In spring and autumn the surrounding landscape has a peaceful, typically Bohemian character.
How to reach the summitThe hill is also known as Aloisova výšina, named after Archbishop Alois Josef von Schrenk, who commissioned the original lookout tower — its ruins remain a curious reminder of the peak's 19th-century heyday.
