The peak of Malá Prašivá is located about 1 km before Prašiva and you can stop here for several reasons: there is a tourist cottage with refreshments (and accommodation) and a small pilgrimage wooden church from 1640, dedicated to Antonín Paduánský. It is an important place of pilgrimage, where pilgrimages are traditionally held to this day.
Both from Malá Prašivá and the top of Prašivá, you will have a nice view of the surroundings, but there are mature trees on some sides. The most beautiful view is probably from the western slope.
